Cadman Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Caedmon.' Cadman is a North English name. The temptation to make it occupative is great. A 'cade of herynge' is as old as the Promptorium Parvulorum, and the cademan would seem naturally to be one who packed herring in cades, or barrels, or perhaps the cooper who made them. But the name is always found without prefix.

I think it certain that Cadman must go with Bateman and Coleman into the list of personal names. It explains Cade and Caddy as nicks, and Cadeson as a patronymic.
