Gething

Gething is a Welsh surname. It is derived from the given name Gedding, a diminutive form of Gedd, which itself is thought to be derived from the Old Welsh word "ged," meaning "battle" or "pledge." The surname Gething is relatively common in Wales and also found in other parts of the United Kingdom and abroad, particularly in areas with a history of Welsh emigration. Variations in spelling may include Gedding, Gettin, and Gethin. The name is patronymic in origin, meaning it originated from the father's given name.
