Haddad or Hadad (Aramaic: ܚܕܕ, Hebrew: חדד; Arabic: حداد) is an ancient Middle Eastern family name originating in Aramaic.[1] Hadad was also a Semitic storm-god.[2]

The original Haddad (Aramaic: ܚܕܕ or ܚܕܐܕ) surname means blacksmith in Semitic languages. It is commonly used in the Canaan region and in Algeria[3]. In the Aramaic-Turoyo dialect, the Haddads are also known as "Hadodo ܚܕܕܐ". People with the surname Hadodo, are usually Assyrians from Tur Abdin. Although ancestry of the last name varies due to migration, there exists a variety of origins, and not all of the name carriers share the same blood line.
