Arden Family History
Arden Name Meaning
English: habitational name either from the district of Arden in Warwickshire or from Arden in Bredbury (Cheshire). The first placename is thought to be derived from a Celtic word meaning ‘high place’ cognate with Ardennes the name of a forested region on the borders between northeastern France and eastern Belgium. The second derives from Old English hēah ‘high’ + worthign ‘enclosed settlement’.
