The surname Gedney or Gidney has its origins in England, particularly in the county of Lincolnshire. It is believed to be derived from the Old Norse personal name "Gudmundr," meaning "God's protection." The name was introduced to England during the Viking invasions of the 9th and 10th centuries. Over time, variations of the name emerged, including Gedney and Gidney.

As for the Irish connection, it is important to note that many surnames, including Gedney and Gidney, have multiple origins and can be found in various countries. In the case of Irish descent, it is possible that individuals with the surname Gedney or Gidney may have Irish ancestry due to historical migrations and intermarriages between different regions.

The Irish population has a rich history of migration, both voluntary and forced, which has contributed to the intermingling of surnames and the blending of different cultural backgrounds. As a result, it is not uncommon to find surnames with diverse origins, including English and Norse, among individuals of Irish descent.

However, it is important to approach the study of surnames with caution, as the exact origins and connections can be complex and difficult to trace accurately. Genealogical research, including the examination of historical records and documentation, can provide a more detailed understanding of an individual's specific ancestral background.
