In general, the 's' at the end of an English name doesn't change the meaning. According to most sources I could discover, Biddle comes from Beadle (which was the title of a type of messenger or official - the full meaning is here: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=beadle). The 's' might indicate that the first person to be given the name Biddles was the son of a Beadle, or it might not. The meaning is basically the same, though.
