Riddok is English in Origin.
Riddok is a modern respelling of the English and Scottish surname Riddock/Riddick, which traces to Middle English ruddock, from Old English rudduc, the word for the robin. The root literally means “little red one,” a nod to the bird’s breast, and by extension suggested a ruddy complexion or a bright, lively nature. As a given name, Riddok carries avian imagery of resilience and cheerful song through winter.
Usage is largely contemporary: while the surname appears in British records from the medieval period onward, first-name adoption rose only in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, helped by pop-culture visibility of the character Riddick and the trend toward distinctive, sharp-sounding names. Variant forms include Riddock, Riddick, Riddik, Reddick, and Ruddock; short forms Rid or Ridd are possible. The name is rare and primarily masculine, though modern unisex use occurs.
We have no record of Riddok in any national birth registry or name dataset. That's typically a sign of a rare name, a regional or traditional one, or a modern coinage. By any reading, it's an exceptionally uncommon choice.
