The Penriddick surname is derived from the Middle English word "ruddock," in turn from the Old English "ruddoc," meaning "red;" and it has been suggested that the name was taken on as nickname for "robin rebreast." 1 2
The surname no doubt also came from the place named Penruddock, a small village in the English county of Cumbria.
The surname Penriddick was first found in Bedfordshire where Azor Ruddoch was listed in the Pipe Rolls of 1176. Later, we found Matlilda Ruddoc in the Subsidy Rolls for Worcestershire in 1275. 2
The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 had only one entry for the family, that of Ralph Ruddoc in Hertfordshire. (Bardlsey)
