The history of the last name Tademy

The surname Tademy is believed to have originated in England during the late medieval period. It is thought to be derived from the Old English words "tæd" and "em", which together mean "coil of thread" or "winding thread". This suggests that the name may have originally referred to someone who worked with thread or yarn, possibly a weaver or seamstress.

The earliest known record of the name Tademy dates back to the 14th century, where it appears in the Subsidy Rolls of Cambridgeshire in 1379 as "William Tademy". Other early spellings of the name include Tadami, Taddemy, and Taddame, all of which point to a common origin.

In the 16th century, the Tademy surname can be found in various parish records across England, particularly in the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex. Notable examples include John Tademy, who was baptized in Ipswich, Suffolk, in 1558, and Thomas Tademy, who married Margery Browne in Little Waldingfield, Suffolk, in 1594.

One of the earliest recorded individuals with the Tademy name was Richard Tademy, born around 1520 in Nettlestead, Suffolk. He was a prosperous landowner and is mentioned in several legal documents from the mid-16th century.

Another notable figure was Samuel Tademy (1655-1718), a prominent merchant and shipowner from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. He was involved in the lucrative trade with the Dutch Republic and amassed considerable wealth during his lifetime.

In the 18th century, the Tademy surname can be found in various parts of England, including London, where William Tademy (1725-1789) was a successful bookseller and publisher. His son, John Tademy (1758-1822), followed in his footsteps and became a well-respected printer in the city.

Moving into the 19th century, one of the most notable individuals with the Tademy name was Reverend James Tademy (1802-1872), a Church of England clergyman who served as the vicar of St. Mary's Church in Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, for over 40 years.
