A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

This name is a form of Calder, which see. Innes says (p. 45) the northern Cawdors were disguised as Cadells and de Cadella even in old Scots chroniclers, and they have kept that variety permanently in the South. Johne Cawdale, sone and apperand air to James Cawdale of Aslovne, who had a remission in 1536 (Trials, I, p. 248) is most likely John Calder of Aslowne, 1558, referred to in the same year as John Caddell (ER., XIX, p. 78,426). Issobell Cattail in Edinburgh, 1530 (MCM., II, p. 105), and John Caldaile in Aberdeen had to find surety in the same year (CRA., p. 138). Hectoure Caddell and Robert Caddel and others made a raid on the lands of Arndwale in Banff, 1600 (RPC., VI p. 135), and William Cadall was tenant under the marquis of Huntlie in same year (SCM., IV, p. 262). Several of this name appear in Kilmadock parish in seventeenth century (Dunblane), and the name was common in Edinburgh in the sixteenth century (Edinb. Marr.). George Caddell was paid ten pounds Scots of assythment in 1724 (Urie, p. 124). Cadell of Cockenzie is principal family of the name.
