The seddon Surname
seddon Name Meaning and History
English: perhaps a habitational name from an unidentified place,
the last element of which could be Old English dun
‘hill’. Without early forms, it is impossible even to speculate what
the first element might be. The surname is extremely common in
Lancashire, especially in the Manchester area, where it was first
recorded in the 14th century.
