Soden Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Suddon,' i.e. the south down; compare Sudlow, &C, a well- known West-country name.
Walter de Suddon, Somerset, 1 Edward III: Kirby's Quest.
This family, of which I have found no trace prior to the transactions under the Acts of Settlement and Explanation, has since multiplied considerably. Thomas Soden thus obtained the lands of Lislakely in Co. Sligo at that time and immediately afterwards acquired the nearby Grange property from the grantee Thomas Park. Soden of Grange appears as a "titulado” in the 1659-60 “census” and James Soden of Grange was one of the Protestant gentlemen attainted under James II. Testamentary records for Co. Sligo from 1699 show that persons of the name were extensive property owners in Co. Sligo up to the middle of the eighteenth century, after which they seem to have become less prosperous though more numerous. By 1864, when general registration of births came into force, they were still found in Co. Sligo but were mainly located in or near Co. Cavan. In some places e.g. Kells, the name has been curiously equated with Saurin * which is a Hugenot name, originally Norman de Sauvergne. Reaney and Weekley agree that Soden is derived from Soudan, a corruption of Sultan, and is thus a surname of the nickname class.
= Sowden, q.v.
Established in Co. Sligo in the mid-seventeenth century this name later spread to Co. Cavan and adjacent parts of Meath, where it has occasionally been used synonymously with Saurin, q.v. Soden, formerly Soudan in England, is a surname of the nickname class derived from the word sultan. SIF 139
From sog-den, the moist or wet hill. Lower refers Soden to Sudden, which he says is a known corruption of Southdean, through Soudean.
From the Dutch, Soeding; a personal name.
