Mattock Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

For Maddock, q.v.

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

Madoc an ancient Welsh personal name. One Madochwas a tenant in chief in Herefordshire at the making of Domesday. He was doubtless a Welshman by birth.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

(Welsh.) The same as Madoc, a proper name common among the Welsh, from mad, good, and the termination oc or og, the same as the termination y or ous in English. The terminations c and ac, denote fixedness, force, plenitude. Og, in its simple form, signifies animation, activity; also, possessing that which precedes it; oc, greatness, grandeur; ox, quickness, promptitude.

An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names (1857) by William Arthur

There are the Old German Madacho, Modern German Mädicke and Matticke; but Mattock, Maddick are probably the same as Maddock, Madock, and the Welsh name Madoc; from mad, good.

Ludus Patronymicus (1868) by Richard Stephen Charnock

Maddock and Maddocks, forms of the ancient Welsh personal name of Madoc, have characterised Wales and the English border shires for ages. Madoch was the name of a Herefordshire tenant in Domesday times, whilst Maddox is still an old Hereford name. In the reign of Edward. I. there were persons of the name of Madoc in Shropshire (H. R.), in which county the names of Maddock and Maddocks still occur. Maddock is now a frequent name in Chester and its neighbourhood, and John Maddock was mayor of Chester in 1676 (Ormerod). Maddocks was the name of a very ancient family of Llanfrynach, Brecknockshire (Jones' "Brecknockshire").
