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.

Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States.
