sounds scottish or irish. McCadden, MacCaddon, McAdden. they're all variations of the same name. When people came over to britain from Ireland in the 1800s a lot of surnames began to be spelt different due to lack of education. Have a look at a geneaology site

Actually, if you go to House of Names, it says it's English. But it is indeed Irish or Scottish.
Mac means son of, the Caddon, also Caddom, Adam, and any variation onwards, means Adam. Thus, son of Adam. Not Biblically, though. It means his own father. Say, Angus MacCaddon, would be translated as: Angus, son of Adam. Adam, in his turn, could be Adam MacOlwen, meaning Adam, son of Olwen, and so forth.
