Sadok is Hebrew in Origin.

Sadok bridges Hebrew and Arabic traditions, all drawing on the Semitic root ṣ-d-q “to be just/true.” In Hebrew it corresponds to Zadok (Tzadok), literally “righteous” or “just,” borne by the high priest who anointed Solomon. Through Greek and Latin liturgical forms it appears as Sadoc, and in Polish sources as Sadok. In Arabic the cognate Ṣādiq means “truthful, sincere,” with Maghrebi usage often spelled Sadok under French influence.

Usage spans scripture and hagiography. Besides the biblical priest, the name is linked to Blessed Sadok of Sandomierz, a 13th‑century Dominican martyr, which kept the Polish form in church calendars. Today Sadok occurs in Jewish communities (usually as Zadok/Tzadok) and in North Africa, especially Tunisia. Variants include Zadok, Tzadok, Sadoc, Sadoq, Sadeq, Sadek, and Sadiq; feminine forms Sadiqa/Sadeqa appear in Arabic. Core meaning centers on righteousness, justice, and truthfulness.
