Spelling variations of this family name include: Shedd, Shed, Shede, Shead, Sched and others.

First found in Yorkshire where bearers of the name have lived since early times. During the years after the Conquest, England was dominated by the Normans, and the presence of Anglo-Saxon surnames was dwarfed by the sudden influx of French. Many of these surnames survived, however, and the written history of the Shed family dates back to this ancient period.
