A DICTIONARY OF ENGLISH PRONUNCIATIONS LISTS Cady (Kai-dee) and Cade (Kai-dee) or (Ca-id).
One Cade is an English and the other is a French pronunciation, it is highly likely the
names are connected.Cade is older, it originated as a first name. One theory is someone
was named John de Cady (John of Cady/Cade) similiar to McCady
In England Cade is ranked 3,000 of 45,000 and Cady is 10,000 . In the US Cade is 30.000
out of 89.000 but Cady is 3200. In simple numbers 440 English Cadys vs 8800 American
Cadys.
Caddy (Cad dee) is probably not related. Oxford University has a project
http://www.ysearch.org/ which might have some answers. . . .
