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.
