Feddes

Feddes is a surname of Dutch origin. It is typically treated as a patronymic name, derived from a given name such as Fedde, a Frisian or Dutch form related to Frederick. The suffix -s in Dutch surnames often denotes a possessive or patronymic origin, indicating “son of” or belonging to a person named Fedde.

The surname is most commonly found in the Netherlands, with a distribution that reflects historical settlement patterns. As with many Dutch surnames, bearers of Feddes have emigrated to other parts of Europe, North America, and beyond, contributing to Dutch diaspora communities.

Variants of the name include Fedde and Fedder, among others, with regional spellings in archives and genealogical records. Distinguishing features such as spelling changes may reflect migration, literacy, or administrative standardization in different eras.

There is no widely known geographic location, major company, or organization that uses the name Feddes as a primary designation in English-language sources. The term is primarily encountered as a family name rather than a standalone entity.
