Early Origins of the Cadoo family

The surname Cadoo was first found in Cambridgeshire where the family was first referenced in the year 1260 when Richard Caddoc held estates in that shire. 1

There is a distinct Welsh connection as the name may have been derived from "the son of Caradoc, which was a Welsh personal name." 2 Furthermore, a Gloucestershire visitation noted Cradock ap Howell ap Grono (no date given)

Cadoc the Wise (Cattwg Ddoeth in Welsh) (d. 570?), was "a Welsh saint, the early lives of whom are so contradictory that it must be supposed that there was more than one person of the name, is said to have been the son of Gwynllyw Filwr, Lord of Gwynllwg in Glamorganshire. He voluntarily devoted himself to a religious life from his earliest years, and miracles are ascribed to him while yet in his boyhood. " 3
