Roddick is an uncommon male given name of American origin, derived from Scottish and English roots. It is believed to have emerged as a variant spelling of the more common names Rodney or Rodriguez. The name Roddick typically has two main interpretations:
1. From the English surname Roddick, which originated in Scotland and was likely an Anglicized form of the Scottish Gaelic name Ruadhric, meaning "red king".
2. As a variant of the Spanish surname Rodríguez, meaning "son of Rodrigo", with Rodrigo being derived from the German given name Hrodeger, composed of the elements "hrod" meaning "fame" and "-ger" meaning "spear".
Roddick gained some limited recognition as a given name in the United States during the mid-20th century. However, it has remained relatively uncommon throughout its history. Today, Roddick is still considered a unique choice for parents seeking a distinctive yet meaningful name for their child.
Between 2006 and 2008, the name Roddick was given to a total of 12 babies. Specifically, there were 5 newborns named Roddick in 2006 and another 7 in 2008.
