Origin of Edd, Meaning of Edd

Origin: From several sources I find the Reding surname with one 'd' apparently comes from Luxembourg originating in the area around Meysembourg. I am however aware of Redings from Switzerland also spelled with one 'd', but I can find no connection between them and the Luxembourg line. Reddings with two 'D's' appear to have origins in England and Ireland.

Origin: English :occupational name for medieval court official, from Middle English bedele (Old English bydel, reinforced by Old French bedel). The word is of Germanic origin, and akin to the Old English b?odan to bid, command and to the Old High German bodo, messenger. (See BOTHA).In the Middle Ages a beadle in England and France was a junior official of a court of justice, responsible for acting as an usher in a court, carrying the mace in processions in front of a justice, delivering official notices, making proclamations (as a sort of town crier), and so on. By Shakespeare's day a beadle was a sort of village constable, appointed by the parish to keep order.

Origin: Eddings originated from all info ive been able to gather...in Scotland and is a bastardization of the name Edin. The Eddings family were blood relatives of King James II of Scotland and were hunted down by the British Throne as they wanted to kill off any possible heirs to the throne...some of them escaped by coming to America. I believe the first Eddings in America to be William and Racheal Eddings who arrived near Frogmore,South Carolina in the late 1600s with a land grant given to them by the colony.
