The Cadd name is an important part of the history of the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. Cadd is derived from the Old English personal name Cada. With the addition of the diminutive suffix -man, this personal name was popular as late as the 13th century in the forms of Cadman and Cademan. Cadd was originally derived from a pet form of this name.

Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Cadd family emigrate to North America:
