According to Ancestry.com here are two very differing surname meanings for Condict, Condit, while the surnames of Cunditt, Cundict, Cundit ( seen in history, although possibly misspelled by others not family), do not seem to exist in ancestry.com's surname database:

Condict Name Meaning

Variant of Irish Connick, a patronymic from Gaelic Mac Conmhaic. The closing of palatalized n and c can sound like an excrescent d or t to non-Gaelic speakers.

 

Condit Name Meaning

Southern French: from the past participle of condir from Latin conditio ‘seasoning’, ‘flavoring’, hence probably an occupational name or nickname for a cook.

 

Dodd Name Meaning

English and Scottish: from the Middle English personal name Dodde, Dudde, Old English Dodda, Dudda, which remained in fairly widespread and frequent use in England until the 14th century. It seems to have been originally a byname, but the meaning is not clear; it may come from a Germanic root used to describe something round and lumpish—hence a short, plump man. Irish: of English origin, taken to Sligo in the 16th century by a Shropshire family; also sometimes adopted by bearers of the Gaelic name Ó Dubhda (see Dowd).
