Prideaux Family History
Prideaux Name Meaning
Cornish: habitational name from a place in the parish of Luxulyan,
which is first recorded in the 12th and 13th centuries in the form
Pridias, perhaps from Cornish pr¯ ‘clay’ + an unknown
word. Later forms of the place name, and hence the surname, show the
results of folk etymological assimilation to French près
d’eaux ‘beside waters’ or pré d’eaux ‘meadow of
waters’.
