The radney Surname
radney Name Meaning and History
Of uncertain origin. Perhaps an altered spelling of Hungarian
Radnay, a habitational name for someone from a place called
Radna in Transylvania, or even of German Radnick, an
occupational name for a councilman, from Sorbian. There are a few
occurrences of the surname in England, and it could perhaps be a
habitational name from Radnage in Buckinghamshire, named from Old
English read ‘red’ + ?c, dative of ac
‘oak’. Early spellings of the place name include Radeneghe
(1241, 1262) alongside the more usual Radenache.
