Caddick Family History
Caddick Surname Meaning
Welsh: from an Anglicized form of the personal name Cadog, a pet form of Cadfael and the name of a famous saint, the first element of whose name is Welsh cad ‘battle’.
English: perhaps a nickname from Middle English caduc ‘infirm, frail’ (Old French caduc).
In Lancashire and Shropshire, Cadwick is a hypercorrect spelling, perhaps through association with the surname Chadwick.
