The surname Condie (also spelled Cundy, Condy, or Cundie) has its roots in Scotland, originating from the parish and lands of Condie in Perthshire, near the village of Forgandenny.
The place name itself is believed to derive from the Scottish Gaelic "con" (hound or wolf) combined with a locational suffix, suggesting the name originally described someone who lived at or near Condie.
Records of the name date back to medieval Scotland, with variations appearing in parish records, land grants, and church documents throughout the Perthshire region.
