The surname Szedj is relatively uncommon and is primarily found in Hungary and among Hungarian diaspora communities. Like many surnames, its exact origins and the circumstances of its adoption are not always definitively recorded, leading to some speculation about its precise etymology.

In Hungarian naming conventions, the surname typically precedes the given name. Therefore, someone with the surname Szedj would be referred to as Szedj [Given Name].
