Dady Family History

Irish: variant of Deady. Hungarian: habitational name for someone from a place called Dad in Fejér and Komárom counties or Dada in Somogy and Szabolcs counties.

English: variant of Daddy from an unrecorded Middle English personal name Dad(d)y perhaps a rhyming pet form of Ad(d)y a pet form of Adam; compare Addy and Adey.

Alternatively perhaps from an unrecorded Middle English daddy a familiar term for ‘father’ but there is no evidence for this word before the 16th century.
