Cadeo
ka-day-oh
Origin:Vietnamese
Meaning:Folk song; Sawfish
While the masculine names Cadeo and Cadao have similar spellings, they each sing their own melodies. With Vietnamese origins, Cadeo may derive from the elements ca and dao, just like Cadao! Intertwining these elements creates two distinct definitions that you can remember like lyrics. Ca Dao is the title given to a specific type of Vietnamese “folk song” or poem, usually sung without music. Telling of everyday life and issues, Ca Dao’s are renowned for their candid and honest reflections on life in Vietnam. They also typically feature animals and the natural world, which is fitting, as Cadeo can also translate to “sawfish.”
