What is the meaning of the name Shaddoc ?

Shaddoc is Biblical in Origin.

Shaddoc is a rare English masculine name with roots in the Hebrew Ṣādōq (Zadok), a biblical name meaning “righteous, just.” Through Latin and medieval forms such as Sadoc/Sadok, the element entered Western naming; the modern spelling with sh- and the doubled d likely reflects English reshaping under the influence of Shadrach and the surname Shaddock.

Zadok was the high priest who anointed King Solomon, anchoring the name in Judeo‑Christian tradition, while Saint Sadoc appears in medieval hagiography. In English‑speaking records, the cluster of forms - Zadok, Zadoc, Sadoc, Sadok - shows sporadic use from the early modern period onward; Shaddoc/Shadoc remain exceedingly uncommon but have been recorded as occasional variant spellings. Related forms include Shaddock (more familiar as a surname), with nicknames Shad or Doc. The name’s crisp cadence and virtue‑laden meaning give Shaddoc a distinctive yet historically grounded profile.
