The founding heritage of the lade family is in the Anglo-Saxon culture that once dominated in Britain. The name lade comes from when one of the family worked as a person who worked as a servant or a page. This surname was originally derived from the Old English word Ladde, an English occupational name for a servant. ^{[1] [2]} Conversely, another source claims that name was derived differently as "in Old English and Scotch, a lade means a canal or duct for water. " ^[3] In this latter scenario, the name would have been again an occupational name for one who works or lives near a canal.
