Arthur,
That was very interesting, particularly the French origins section. I
found the last paragraph of note:
It is amazing and strange to remark that we find these three groups on the
west coast of France where it is believed that the Norman and Anglo-Saxon
invaders came in the old time. It is why until now I think that the Cardin
name was from Anglo-Norman origin (maybe from Cari-den, which could mean
Cari, a Viking name, the strong ) and had a similar origin with the Carden
name in England and not with a Germanic word (Richard : Ric Hard which means
the strong King) as it is related in the traditional French genealogy books.
When I first met my husband, Thor Carden, on a blind date I teased him that
he looked like a Viking. He had blonde hair and a red beard. You can see
his photo on this webpage.

Listers may be interested to have a look at my blog

where I have just posted some information about a William Cardon who appears
to have come from France with William the Conqueror in 1066, and possible
Cardin relatives in France and Carden descendants in the East Kent area of
England.
