Släkthistoria för Puddephatt
Puddephatt Vad efternamn betyder
probably from an unrecorded Middle English *pudi ‘swollen obese’ (compare Modern English poddy) + fat ‘vessel tub vat’ (Old English fæt) for a man with a prominent paunch reminiscent of the ‘barrel-bellied’ rotund drinker mentioned under Barrell. In the case of John de Podyfat in 1309 the de is probably an error for the definite article le.
