Padden Vad efternamn betyder
Irish: shortened Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Páidín ‘son of Páidín’ a pet form of the personal name Pádraig (see Patrick). Compare McPadden. English (Devon): habitational name from either Petton in Bampton (Devon) or Paddon in Shebbear (Devon). Petton in Bampton derives from an Old English personal name P(e)atta + Old English tūn ‘farmstead settlement’; Paddon in Shebbear probably has the same etymology but due to a lack of early forms this cannot be certain.
