Släkthistoria för Praed
Praed Vad efternamn betyder
unexplained. Apparently from Middle Cornish *prad ‘meadow’ (Modern Cornish pras) but there are insuperable difficulties in attributing it to one of the places now called Praze (Sithney Grade and Saint Erth parishes) because the Cornish change of [d] to [z] took place before the main era of surname development. That is a surname from one of these places should be Prase or Praze but there is no trace of such names.
