Sadock is Hebrew, Polish in Origin.
Sadock is a rare form of a very old Semitic name rooted in Hebrew Tzadok (Zadok), from the triliteral ṣ-d-q meaning “righteous, just.” Through Latin and French transmission it appears as Sadoc/Sadok, with Sadock an Anglicized or Francophone spelling. It is also close to Arabic Ṣādiq/Sadeq (“truthful, loyal”), a cognate from the same root rather than a direct variant. Core variants include Zadok, Zadoc, Sadoc, and Sadok; related forms are Sadiq and Sadegh.
Usage reaches back to the biblical high priest Zadok, who anointed Solomon, giving the name enduring religious resonance. In medieval Europe it circulated via the Vulgate as Sadoc/Sadok, notably borne by Blessed Sadok of Sandomierz (13th‑century Dominican martyr). Handel’s coronation anthem “Zadok the Priest” kept the name in cultural memory. Today Sadock is scarcely used as a given name; spelling tends to vary regionally, and brief forms like Zad are occasional.
Sadock is seldom given. We count 27 recorded uses of it across 12 countries.
