The history of the last name Condie

The surname Condie is of Scottish origin and dates back to at least the 16th century. It is believed to be a locational name derived from the lands of Condy or Condye near Arbroath in Angus, Scotland. The name may have originated from the Gaelic words "con" meaning hound and "dith" meaning portion or share, possibly referring to a hunting ground or estate.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Register of the Great Seal of Scotland, which mentions John Condy in 1542. The name also appears in various 16th and 17th century parish records from Angus and surrounding areas, often with variations in spelling such as Condy, Condye, and Cundie.

In the late 16th century, a notable figure named William Condie was a Protestant minister and theologian who served as the minister of Kilrenny in Fife. He was born around 1545 and died in 1608.

Another early bearer of the name was James Condie, a merchant and burgess of Edinburgh in the 17th century. He was involved in trade and commerce in the city and played a role in the economic life of the time.

In the 18th century, the name appears in records from various parts of Scotland, including Perthshire and Aberdeenshire. One notable individual was John Condie, born in 1718 in Arbroath, who served as a minister in the Church of Scotland.

In the 19th century, the name spread more widely across Scotland and into England. One significant figure was Thomas Condie, a Scottish minister and writer who was born in 1796 in Stirlingshire. He authored several religious works and served as a minister in various parishes in Scotland and England.

Another notable bearer of the name was David Condie, a Scottish architect who was born in 1843 in Aberdeenshire. He designed several notable buildings in Aberdeen and other parts of Scotland during the late 19th century.

While the name has its roots in Scotland, it has also spread to other parts of the world, particularly through emigration and migration. However, the earliest and most significant references to the Condie surname can be traced back to its Scottish origins, with a concentration in the Angus and surrounding regions.
