I did some research on the name and it took me back to Israel and the Tribe of Gad. Over
the years when the names were carved in stone, time took its toll on the stones
and the G, which was very similar to the G, became a C. I believe it took place in
Germany.

I research every book and web site for the meaning of the name. I found only one meaning
that I could not dispute..IT WAS NOT a variation of Caddy, from Scottish for Messenger,
because the name is older than the Scottish language and it originated much further south.
It is not a form of Cade from a french barrel meaning a stout person, the spelling is
similiar but the pronunciation is different Ka-id versus Ka-dee. It is not short for
Cadbury, which is to far west, It does not mean Church or House of God. It is not likely
a variation of Cada, which is Gernan and not English. The name most likely came from a
long forgotten dialect spoken in Suffolk. when the name came into being England had 32
dialects and the offical language was Latin and Anglo-Norman. Both were spoken from
Ireland to Israel, Old English and Old Scottish were yet to arrive. Modern spelling did
not arrive in London until 1480, The name is not found in the 1086 Census, but appears
after 1100 as an old fa!
mily name in old Viking areas, So what is left?
The only meaning I cannot cross off, is a nickname for a domestic animal kept as a pet.
The name was given to a person of pleasant disposition, I cannot confirm or deny this, it
is just the only meaning I;found that I cannot disprove. The spelling was often Cadee
where the.ee is a Y,. much like UU is W, double U. The Vikings had no C, but did have a KA
sound. Burke and the others based their claims on the written word (after 1600), which did
not exist in 1100 outside of Latin and Greek.The Royals mostly spoke Anglo-Norman. My
principle proof is Y-DNA shows only three areas in England with Viking DNA, a Viking
settlement and the Census of 1841. FYI I am still looking at other Viking DNA and Surnames
found in SUFFOLK, Cady is not the only one. .
