Cardini Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

CARDNEY: From the lands of Cardney near Dunkeld, Perthshire. The Cardenys or Cairdeneys, "an antient family in the county of Pearthshyre," now unknown and forgotten, were at one time extensive landowners in the shire. Mariote de Cardny, "one of King Robert the Second's Mistresses by whom he had many children" (Mocfarlane, II, p. 302), had a charter from the king of the two Clyntres, etc., in the sheriffdom of Aberdeen in 1372 (RMS., I, 506). Robert de Cardini, brother of Mariota, was made bishop of Dunkeld and died at a great age in 1436, "et sepultus in Dunkell coram alteri Sancti Niniani" (Chr. Fort., p. 112). Andrew of Cardeny of that Ilk had confirmation of a charter of lands in the sheriffdom of Perth in 1416 (Athole, p. 706), Adam de Cardeny was admitted burgess of Aberdeen in 1443 (NSCM., I, p. 8), and Duncan de Cardny held land of Clathadre in Strathern in 1450 (Oliphants, p. 11). William Cardney first of Foss (or Fossach), married the heiress of Macnair of Foss, and both died in 1452. Duncan Cardeny succeeded, and he and his son, Andro Cardene, figured in a case before the Lords Auditors of Causes and Complaints in 1484. Andrew Cardein of Fos witnessed a retour of Neis Ramsay in the barony of Bamff in 1507 (Bamff, p. 45). He appears to have been the last of the Cardenys of Foss, as soon after the property appears in the possession of the Stewarts. Alexander Cardeny witnessed a charter of Robert Mersar of Inuerpefery in 1454 (LIM., 120), Patrick Cardeny was shepherd of the bishop of Dunkeld in 1511 (Rent. Dunk., p. 68), Sir Andrew Kardny, a Pope's knight, was presented to a chaplaincy in the Collegiate Church of Methven in 1516 (Methven, p. 40), Sir David Cardny is in record as burgess of Perth in 1546 (Dunbtane), and Patrick Cardny of Clachladrun in the parish of Foulis in 1618 (ibid.). The name also appears in record as Cairney, Cardany, Carden, Cardenye (1507), Cardine, and Cardoni.
