Name Meaning
Americanized form of French Condé (see Conde ) or, alternatively, Candé, a habitational name from Candé in Maine-et-Loire, or from Candé-sur-Beauvron in Loire-et-Cher, or southern French Condy .
Alternatively, perhaps an altered form of English Condy , a cognate of the name Candé in 1 above.
History: The Candees trace their origin to Zaccheus Cande(e), who in the middle of the 17th century resided in the New Haven County, CT, and his probable father John Condy alias Conde. The name of the latter is listed in the (US) National Huguenot Society's register of qualified Huguenot ancestors as Jean/John Candée/Cande/Condé and in the similar register of the Huguenot Society of America as John Conde. See also Conde .
