Feddis Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This rare name belongs to Co. Fermanagh, as is clear from the pedigree in the Genealogical Office and numerous testamentary records, only one relating to a place outside that county. The earliest of the wills is dated 1742. I have not discovered the origin of the name. According to a list of fourteenth century Latin forms of English surnames given by Ewen, Fiddes is equivalent to de Sancto Fide. I presume he had adequate authority for that statement. It may well be also the origin of the rare south Leinster name Sanfey (also spelt Sanphy). We know from another source (Ball's Judges) that De Sancta Fide occurs in a list of chancellors under date 1235.

Supplement to Irish Families (1964) by Edward MacLysaght

Also written Fiddes, which is the modern form of the Norman de Sancto Fide: that is probably also the original of the south Leinster name Sanfey or Sanphy. Feddis belongs to Co. Fermanagh. SIF 67
