Scottish (But hey! All those countries england scotland and ireland all descend from the same people!) http://www.houseofnames.com/fc.asp?sId=&...

Your nationality is whatever country you were born and raised in. It has nothing to do with your last name.

I believe what you are asking about is your ethnicity, which is not the same thing, and, technically, also has nothing to do with your last name. The origins of your last name may have absolutely nothing to do with YOUR heritage.

There could be any number of reasons why your particular last name came down in your family, and may have nothing to do with your ancestors actually coming from the country from which your last name originated.

your last name is NOT reedy...
