Ladde is in Origin.

Ladde is an Anglicized given name drawn from Middle English ladde, a term for a boy, youth, or manservant that later became standard lad in Modern English and laddie in Scots. The etymology is uncertain, but the sense centers on youthful vigor and service or companionship. As a forename, Ladde reads as an archaic revival or surname-style choice, with a straightforward, upbeat meaning: young man or attendant.

Usage as a given name is rare; it appears in English-speaking countries from the 19th century onward within the surname-first-name trend. The more familiar forms are Ladd (also a surname, e.g., actor Alan Ladd) and Laddie, with variants Lad and Laddy; Ladde is an archaic or modernized spelling. In historical records it is sporadic rather than sustained, and modern bearers often adopt it for its brisk, boyish sound. Related names point back to the same root and meaning.
