Chadd Origin and Meaning

The name Chadd is a boy's name.

Chadd is a masculine name representing a variant spelling of Chad, which originated from the Old English name Ceadda, meaning 'battle' or 'warrior.' This alternative spelling with the doubled 'd' emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought to give traditional names distinctive touches. The name has Anglo-Saxon roots and historical significance through St. Chad, a 7th-century bishop. Chadd peaked in popularity during the 1970s and 1980s but has since become less common, giving it a somewhat retro quality today. The name conveys a straightforward masculinity with its short, strong sound. Its uncomplicated pronunciation coupled with the unique spelling offers a balance of familiarity and individuality.
