Riddell Family History
Riddell Name Meaning
Scottish and northern English: from a Norman personal name,
Ridel. Reaney explains this as a nickname from Old French
ridel ‘small hill’ (a diminutive of ride ‘fold’, of
Germanic origin), but a more probable source is a Germanic personal
name derived from the element rid ‘ride’.
