Geddes is a surname of English and Scottish origin. In Scotland and northern Ireland the name may be derived from the place-name Geddes in Nairn, Scotland. However, according to the ''Dictionary of American Family Names'', the surname is more likely a patronymic name derived from the name ''Geddie''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Geddes Name Meaning and History ) This webpage cites ''Dictionary of American Family Names'', Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4.〕 This name (''Geddie''), may be an altered form of MacAdam. In this way, the letter ''G'' represents the Gaelic ''mac'' "son of" and ''Eddie'' is a variant of Adam. ''Geddie'' may also be a nickname meaning "greedy", derived from ''gedd'' meaning "pike", this could also refer to a voracious eater.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Geddie Name Meaning and History ) This webpage cites ''Dictionary of American Family Names'', Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4.〕 The earliest written record of the surname ''Geddes'' is of William ''Ged'', from Shropshire, England, recorded within the Pipe Rolls in the year 1230.
