GEDDY Not sure about this one. It is probably the same name as Geddie, which appears to be exclusively Scottish. The suspected etymology (from gedd meaning 'pike') could be correct as well. Don't take my word, though, as my expertise (such as it is

The name Geddes, which some sources claim to be a related name, is an Anglicisation of the Gaelic Gead Ais.
P.S. In Canada, when we think of Geddy, we think of Geddy Lee!
