Tedd Origin and Meaning

The name Tedd is a boy's name.

Tedd is a masculine name primarily functioning as a diminutive of Edward or Theodore, though it has established itself as an independent given name in some regions. The name Edward derives from Old English elements meaning 'wealthy guardian,' while Theodore comes from Greek roots meaning 'gift of God.' Tedd presents a more casual, approachable alternative to these longer formal names. While less common than Ted or Teddy, Tedd with the double 'd' provides a distinctive spelling variation. The name peaked in popularity in English-speaking countries during the mid-20th century but has since become less common. Tedd generally evokes qualities of reliability, friendliness, and unpretentiousness.
