The surname Codden, often seen as McCodden, is of Irish origin. It is derived from the Gaelic name Mac Oda, which means son of Oda or son of Otter. The family name has been traced back to the 13th century in County Donegal, located in the northern part of Ireland. The Codden or McCodden family was part of the distinguished Gaelic Irish nobility who held a family seat in their ancestral territories.
The spelling and pronunciation of the name have changed over time due to social, political and economic shifts, resulting in various versions of the name such as McCodden, Codden, Codd, Codden, and even McCadden. The McCadden variant is particularly prevalent, suggesting a strong Scottish influence, likely due to the historical intermingling of Irish and Scottish clans.
Through centuries, the family faced adverse changes such as the devastation of the Great Famine of the mid-19th century and English colonization, many members of the Codden or McCodden family migrated to other parts of the world, particularly North America and Australia, where the surname is now commonly found. Despite these migrations, the Codden surname remains deeply rooted in its Irish heritage.
