Question: Anyone heard of the surname Vaden!.!?
2 of my great great grandparents were Jewish and one had the last name Vaden!. I have looked everywhere and can find no references to it anywhere!. I think it's possibly German!. Can anyone shed some light!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Apparently of English origin, but of unexplained etymology!.
Swedish (Vadén): probably an ornamental name from the place-name element vad- ‘ford’ + the adjectival suffix -én, from Latin -enius!.
