The glidden Surname
glidden Name Meaning and History
English (Devon): apparently a habitational name possibly from
Glidden in Hampshire, which is named from Old English gleoda
‘kite’ + dun ‘hill’. Compare Gledhill. However, the
concentration of the surname in Devon suggests that it may also have
arisen from another place, now lost.
