Aed Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

AED, Aedh: One of the most popular of Gaelic names. OG., meaning 'fire,' latinized Aidus and AEdus. The Aedui, a tribe of Gallia Celtica, were friendly to the Romans (Caesar, B. G., I, 11). Duuenaldus son of Ede (=Aed) was chosen king of the Britons, 943 (CPS., p. 9). Aed Albanach (i.e. 'of Scotland'), a leader of the Dublin Danes, died 942 (AFM.). Comgeall mac Eda was mormaer of Buchan (Bk. Deer, II, 1), and Aed was father of Ghgillcomded, witness to a protection by David I to the clerics of Deer, c, 1150 (ibid.). The name of one of the witnesses to a charter of Alexander I to the Abbey of Scone (Scon, 14) is spelled Heth (= Aed) and at first misread as Beth was the subject of a good deal of controversy. In some mediaeval Latin documents Aedh is rendered Odo, Later Aodh, which see.
