Ton is old English for farmstead or enclosure.Cadox is probably the geezer who built it.Sounds like an old Celtic name. Stuggling on the origin of the name.But in 1881 Barry was a small village of just 85 people,with two other vilages close by,Merthyr Dyfan and Cadoxton with a few outlying farms. I live in Cadoxton Cadoxton had a population of 403 in 1881.

Gerald De Barri held land in Glamorgan in the 12th century,possibly comes from him. He was a Anglo-Norman who married Helen of Wales.
