- Origins Available:
 England The name Baddock was spawned by the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture that ruled a majority of Britain. It comes from the personal name Bartholomew. Bat(e) was a pet form of this personal name and when combined with 'cock' which was a common suffix for other names like Wilcox, Simcock and others became Batcock. [1] [2] Early Origins of the Baddock familyThe surname Baddock was first found in Worcestershire where Edrich Bathecoc was listed in the Assize Rolls for 1221. Later, the mononym Batecok was listed in the Assize Rolls for 1288 in Cheshire and later again, the same rolls listed Richard Batcok in 1285. Down in Dorset, we found William Badecok in 1297. [1] The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 list: Geoffrey Batecok, London; William Badecok, Cambridgeshire; and Robert Batecoc, Oxfordshire. [2] In Somerset, Kirby's Quest lists Stephen Badcok and Badokok Jerveys, 1 Edward III (during the first year of the reign of King Edward III) [3] "The Rev. Samuel Badcock, the eminent divine, was born at South Molton in 1747, the son of a butcher, and the name still belongs to that trade in the town. There was a William Badecok in Cambridgeshire in the 13th century." [4] Early History of the Baddock familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Baddock research.

Many variations of the name Baddock have been found, including Babcock, Badcock, Babbcock, Batcock, Badcocke and many more.
