Waddilove Family History

Waddilove Surname Meaning

Perhaps for an infatuated lover from Middle English waden (Old English wadan) ‘to wade go deeply be heavily committed’ + i(n) love. It appears to have been a regular expression.

One 15th-century writer warned ‘In love of women wade nat over depe’ while another advised ‘In loves art men must deype wade or [i.e. before] that ye be conqueryd and e-wonne’ (both recorded in MED at waden).
