Roeddon is in Origin.

Roeddon is a rare modern given name that most plausibly springs from the English surname tradition, with closest antecedents Roydon/Royden and Rowdon/Rawdon. These surnames trace to Old English place-names built on dun "hill" with a qualifying first element: in Roydon, ryge "rye," yielding the sense "rye hill"; in Rowdon/Rawdon, an uncertain descriptive element, often interpreted as "rough/rocky hill." The double-d spelling evokes Welsh orthography, though the name itself is not recorded in Welsh sources; its form may be a creative respelling meant to look distinctive.

As a given name, Roeddon sees very light use in contemporary Anglophone contexts, following the broader trend of adapting surnames and nature-leaning sounds. Variant spellings and relatives include Roydon, Royden, Rowdon, Rawdon, Roden, and Rodon; possible nicknames are Roe and Don/Donnie. Parents choosing Roeddon can reasonably attribute the meaning "rye hill," or more generally "hill settlement."
