Safady

Safady is a surname of Semitic origin, most likely a variant spelling of Safadi, which in turn derives from Safed (also spelled Safad), a historic city in the Upper Galilee. The name traditionally indicates origin from Safed, and its use spans both Levantine Jewish and Arab communities. Like other transliterated surnames, Safady appears in English-language records with several phonetic renderings, including Safadi, Safdie, and Safediy, reflecting differences in Hebrew, Arabic, and anglicized spelling.

In terms of distribution, bearers of the name have appeared in Israel, the Palestinian territories, Lebanon, and Jordan, as well as in the diaspora across North America and Europe. Surname spellings can vary by country, family preference, and immigration documentation, which can complicate genealogical research.

Notable bearers of the exact spelling 'Safady' are not widely documented in major reference works. This does not preclude private individuals with the surname from public or professional roles in their respective communities.
