Biddy Family History

Recorded as Bedie, Beddie, Beddie, Beddy, Bidie, Biddie, and Biddy, this is almost certainly a surname of Scottish origins. According to the Dictionary of Scottish Surnames compiled by the late Professor Black of the New York Public Library, it is believed to be a dialectal transposition of the medieval female name Beatrice, and as a surname generally recorded as Beattie, Beatty and Beaty. The spellings where 'd' or 'dd' have replaced 't' or 'tt' originated in Eastern Scotland and particularly Perthshire, in the late medieval period.
