The surname Kidd has an interesting history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. The origin of the name can be traced back to medieval Scotland, where it was spelled as Kyd or Kide.
The name is derived from the Middle English word "kid," which means a young goat. In this context, it is believed that the name was originally a nickname given to someone who bore a resemblance to a young goat or had a playful and mischievous nature.
Over time, individuals with the surname Kidd migrated to various parts of Ireland, particularly in the Ulster region. They were part of the larger Scottish and English plantations in Ireland during the 16th and 17th centuries. Many of these individuals belonged to Protestant families and settled in areas such as Antrim and Down.
The surname Kidd also gained prominence in Ireland during the period of British rule. Several notable figures with the name Kidd emerged, including John Kidd, an Irish politician who served in the Irish Parliament in the 1760s.
Today, descendants of the Kidd surname can be found across Ireland and in Irish diaspora communities around the world, with many proud of their Scottish and Irish heritage.
