Description Dededo is located at the north central part of the island of Guam where most of the population presently centers. It encompasses an area of about 30 square miles of Guam’s 212 miles. The word, “Dededo,” comes from a system of measurement using the fingers in which each finger signifies an inch. So as one measures “one inch, two inches, three inches…” the name “Dededo” was derived from the measurement of two fingers indicating two inches. There is another word that could have possibly given this village its name. The word, “dedeggo,” is a person who walks on tiptoes so as not to wake up those who are sleeping. It is not clear whether Dededo got its name because someone long ago measured the place with his fingers, or because the people habitually walked on tip toes.
