Tedd

Tedd is a masculine given name and, less commonly, a surname. It is a variant form of Theodore and has also been used as a stand-alone name. The name Theodore derives from the Greek Theodoros, meaning "gift of God." The spelling Tedd, with two d’s, is one of several variants used in English, alongside Ted and Teddy.

In usage, Tedd is relatively uncommon in contemporary times but appears in historical records and older name registries. As a nickname, Tedd often functions as a form of Theodore, while as a given name it can be chosen for its distinct spelling. The name has appeared in various cultural contexts, including fiction and literary works, reflecting broader patterns of name variation.

Notable people with the name include Tedd Arnold, an American author and illustrator known for children's books such as the Fly Guy series. While not widely common, the form Tedd contributes to the family of Theodore-derived names that have persisted in English-speaking regions.
