Etymology

The name Caddon, recorded as Kaledene in 1296, [1] has a Brittonic origin. [1] The second part of the name is the nominal or locative suffix -onā. [1] The first element may be *calet, [1] which survives in Welsh as caled meaning "hard". [1] An initial element of cad meaning "a battle", [1] is also a possibility. [1]
