Origin Displayed: English

Where did the English Kadi family come from? What is the English coat of arms/family crest? When did the Kadi family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

The rich and ancient history of the Kadi family name dates back to the time of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It comes 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. Kadi was originally derived from a pet form of this name.

Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate spelled their names differently as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Kadi have been found, including Caddy, Caddie, Caddey, Cade, Cadde, Caide, Caidey, Caidde, Kade, Kaddie, Kaiddy and many more.

First found in Cumberland where they held a family seat from very early times.

Families began migrating abroad in enormous numbers because of the political and religious discontent in England. Often faced with persecution and starvation in England, the possibilities of the New World attracted many English people. Although the ocean trips took many lives, those who did get to North America were instrumental in building the necessary groundwork for what would become for new powerful nations. Among the first immigrants of the name Kadi, or a variant listed above to cross the Atlantic and come to North America were : James Caddy and Robert Caddy who were farming in Virginia in 1650 and William Caddy who settled in Barbados in 1634. Another James Caddy came from Wales to Boston in 1635.
