Paddock is a name whose history is connected to the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain.

Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Paddock family name include Puttoch, Puttock, Puttoc, Puttick, Puttoche, Puttocke, Putticke, Putteck, Puttex, Putton, Putten, Potton, Puttone, Pottone, Pottock, Pottocke, Pottoch and many more.

First found in Sussex where they held a family seat from very early times, some say before the Norman Conquest of Duke William of Normandy in 1066 A.D. The first on record was Aelfricus Puttoc who was Lord of the manor of Puttock in the year 1034. At the time of the Battle of Hastings they had branched westward to Somerset where Aluried Puttoch held estates.

For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Paddock surname or a spelling variation of the name include:
