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

(English), the Middle English Schadd (Hundred Rolls), is prob. a nickname from the Old English fish-name sceadd, m. (the importance of this fish in A.-Saxon times is shown by the fact that there was a ‘shad season’), rather than conn. with Old English ge)sc(e)ád, n., ‘understanding,’ ‘discretion.’ There does not seem to have been any confusion between this pers. name and Chad, although there is apparently a place-name instance under Shadwell.
