Historical References
"CADENHEAD, CADDENHEAD. Of local origin from the head of the Caldon or Cadon Water in the Selkirkshire part of the parish of Stow, and not from De Cadneto or Caisneto as the author of The Norman people says. William de Caldanhed or Caldenhed, a monk of Newbattle, who was treasurer to the Abbey in 1467, is apparently first of the name on record ( (Neubotle, p. 254). William Caudenhed was a witness in Edinburgh in 1482 (ibid., p. 276). The name appears to have made its way to Aberdeenshire in the sixteenth century, and there Archibald Cadenheid was "ane of the maisteris of the fische boittis of Puttie" in 1601 (CRA., p. 218). Magnus Caddenheid in Cortance is on record in 1633 (SCM., m, p. 116). The name also appears in Edinburgh in 1677 and 1699 as Caldennead and Caddonhead (Edinb. Man.). Cadenhed 1743, Cadinheid 1634, Cadonheid 1675, Caldanhede 1502, Caldenheid 1505, Cattenhead 1626, Caudenhead 1482, Cauldenhed 1494, Cawdinhed 1467, Kaddinheid 1637. "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
