About Caradoc
Derived from the name Caradog, the handsome ancient Celtic name was worn by one of the Knights of the Round Table, as well as a semi-legendary Welsh King. Possibly a cognate of Cedric and Carys, Caradoc is ultimately derived from the Brythonic name Caratācos meaning "loved", itself originating from the Celtic karu.
Familiar in various forms in the Middle Ages, Caradoc is rarely used today.
Pronounced ka-RA-dawk.
Editor's take: The name Caradoc is a boy's name of Welsh origin meaning "amiable, beloved".
