Clan Ged

Crest badge suitable for members of Clan Ged.

Clan Ged is a Scottish clan.[1] The clan does not currently have a chief recognised by the Lord Lyon King of Arms and is considered an armigerous clan. Without a recognised chief the clan has no standing under Scots Law. In Scotland, the surname Ged and Geddes may be derived from the place-name Geddes in Nairn.[2] Another possibility is that it is derived from the Old English gedda, a nickname meaning pike.[2]
