Clan Kidd, Kyd



New Official Clan Crest (2024)

Kidd Society Origin Conjecture
The name is likely derived from family name adoption post Roman times, by indigenous Britons, during their conversion to Christianity. The most likely origin is from monastic practices which were part of the conversions of pagan Britons and Picts (circa 635-664 CE); communities adopted surnames and village names in veneration of these works, based on ecclesiastical Latin and Old English pronunciations.

The Christopher diminutive is often seen around many online sources. However we have been researching for over 25 years and are very confident we have the root origin.
