The surname "Peddie" has its origins in Ireland, specifically in County Tyrone. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Pháidín," meaning "son of Páidín." The name Páidín is a diminutive form of the Irish personal name Pádraig, which translates to Patrick in English. During the medieval period, when surnames became more common in Ireland, the prefix "Mac" indicated "son of" in Gaelic. This means that the surname Peddie originally indicated "son of Páidín." Over time, the spelling of the name evolved, and variations such as Peddy and Paddy emerged. The Peddie surname is primarily associated with the province of Ulster, which includes County Tyrone. During the 18th and 19th centuries, many Irish people emigrated due to economic hardships and political unrest, particularly to North America and other English-speaking countries. As a result, the Peddie surname can also be found among Irish diaspora communities in countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Today, individuals with the surname Peddie can still be found in Ireland, as well as in various parts of the world where Irish immigrants settled. Through genealogical research and DNA testing, individuals with the Peddie surname can trace their Irish heritage back to County Tyrone and connect with their ancestral roots.
