The history of the last name Nadin

The surname Nadin is believed to have originated in England, with its roots dating back to the 12th century. The name is thought to be derived from the Old English word "naddre," which means "snake" or "serpent." This suggests that the name may have been a descriptive surname initially given to someone who lived near a snake-infested area or had some association with snakes.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Nadin can be found in the Hundred Rolls of 1273, which were a series of census-like records compiled by English officials during the reign of King Edward I. These rolls mention a person named Richard Naddre living in the county of Oxfordshire.

The Nadin surname has also been linked to various place names in England, particularly in the county of Yorkshire. For instance, the village of Nadderton (now known as Narthedrine) may have contributed to the development of the surname. Additionally, the name Nadin has been associated with the town of Nairn in Scotland, suggesting possible Scottish origins or connections.

Throughout history, several notable individuals have carried the Nadin surname. One such person was John Nadin (1546-1625), an English clergyman who served as the Archdeacon of Taunton in Somerset during the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

Another prominent figure was William Nadin (1654-1705), an English lawyer and judge who served as the Chief Justice of the English Colony of Madras (now Chennai, India) from 1693 to 1705.

In the literary world, Richard Nadin (1701-1776) was an English poet and essayist who published several works, including "The Miscellaneous Works of Mr. Richard Nadin" in 1768.

Moving into the 19th century, Thomas Nadin (1796-1859) was a notable English architect who designed several buildings in the city of Manchester, including the Royal Manchester Institution.

Lastly, Sir John Nadin (1876-1948) was a British businessman and politician who served as a Member of Parliament for the Manchester Hulme constituency from 1923 to 1945.

While the Nadin surname may have originated in England, it has since spread to various parts of the world, though its roots can be traced back to the Old English language and the descriptive nature of surnames in medieval times.
