Meaning & History
Cade is a masculine given name of English origin, derived from an English surname that itself originated as a nickname. The surname is thought to come from the Old English word cadd, meaning "round" or "lump," perhaps referring to a stout or plump person. However, an alternative etymology traces it to the Middle English form of the Old English given name Cada, which is related to Brittonic names beginning with Catu-, meaning "battle." This dual origin reflects how names can evolve through different linguistic layers over time.
