Cresdee Family History

Cresdee Surname Meaning

Of uncertain origin; possibly from the medieval female given name Criseyde (modern Cressida) with a pet-form suffix.

This name is rare indeed in the Middle Ages, presumably because of the faithlessness of the character in Greek myth.

Whose story was well known, it likely contributed to the lack of popularity of the name during that time.
