Guédry: Last Name Origin and Family Crest

Guédry is how some branches of the Guidry family came to write their name. Guédry writes “é” in place of the “i” found in Guidry, a common scribal difference. It grew out of a personal name: “From a Germanic first name”. Local scribes, dialects and emigration all left their mark on how the name was written.
