1. Florence of Worcester mentions an Anglo-Saxon called Puttoc. 2. A kite: "metaphorically applied," says Halliwell, "to a greedy, ravenous fellow." Puttoc. H.R.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

Puttock: is a very old English name; and probably it is now to be found in other eastern counties besides Surrey. It has, however, been long in the county, since we learn that in 1687 Jane Puttock, of the parish of Alfold, received a certificate from her vicar to be touched for the evil (M.). Six centuries ago we find this name still in the east of England, occurring as Puttoc and Puttock in Cambridgeshire, and as Puttak in Kent (H. R.); and in truth Florence of Worcester, writing in the 11th century, speaks of an Anglo - Saxon named Puttoc.
