Where the Wade name comes from

Wade is an English surname of Anglo-Saxon origin, and it grew from two separate roots. One line runs from the Middle English given name Wade, built on the Old English verb wadan, meaning "to go". The other is a habitational name from the Old English word (ge)waed, meaning a ford. Old English wæd, a ford, also gave Wade as a topographic surname.

Waide is a variant spelling, and Wadey is a diminutive form. The name is also tied to Waythe, which came from wath, another form of the word for a ford. Through that shared meaning, Wade and Waythe are linked with the surnames Ford and Forth.
