Gorsedd is Welsh in Origin.
Gorsedd is a Welsh word-name formed from gor- “upper, over” and sedd “seat” (ultimately from Latin sedes), yielding the sense “high seat,” “throne,” or, by extension, “mound/assembly.” In medieval Wales, a gorsedd was the elevated mound where judgment or ceremony occurred, a meaning echoed in literature such as the Mabinogion’s Gorsedd Arberth. The plural is gorseddau.
From the late 18th century it came to denote the bardic order tied to the National Eisteddfod (Gorsedd Beirdd Ynys Prydain), hence modern associations with poetry, ceremony, and Celtic revival. Close cultural cousins include Cornish Gorsedh Kernow and Breton Goursez Vreizh. As a given name it is extremely rare and reads as gender-neutral; its resonance is poetic and institutional rather than personal. Variants and related forms: Welsh Gorsedd (std.), Cornish Gorsedh, Breton Goursez; diminutives are uncommon, but Anglicized spellings like Gorseth occasionally appear.
Gorsedd turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. That's typically a sign of a rare name, a regional or traditional one, or a modern coinage. By any reading, it's an exceptionally uncommon choice.
