Meaning and history
Redd is an English given name transferred from a nickname or surname. It usually derives from Middle English red or read, referring historically to red hair or a ruddy complexion. Modern use may also be a stylized spelling of Red and does not imply a particular personality. Many famous examples, including comedian Redd Foxx, used Redd as a professional name rather than a birth name. Reliable prominent legal given-name bearers are limited, so surname and nickname history is central.
