Chadd is a unique and distinctive given name of American origin, derived from Old English elements 'ceadding' meaning 'warlike' and 'hlaford' meaning 'lord'. It is a variant spelling of the more common Chad, which gained popularity in the 20th century due to its association with the name of the second moon of Saturn. The name Chadd, however, offers a unique twist on this classic name, providing a rare yet sophisticated option for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
The name Chadd experienced significant popularity from the mid-60s to the early 80s, peaking in 1971 with 89 births. However, it gradually declined thereafter, dropping to single digits by the late 90s and remaining low since then, with only 5 births in 2016. Overall, there were a total of 2456 babies named Chadd between 1957 and 2017.
