Family name origins & meanings

  • Spanish : from a variant of sedeño ‘silken’ or ‘cloth (or rope) of tow’, also ‘bristle’, possibly used as a nickname in the sense of Catalan sedeny ‘very strong man’. This name is common in many parts of Latin America and in the Philippines, but rare in Spain itself.
