The word "Juddock" is derived from the Middle English term "judok", which itself comes from the Old English word "geodoc". In Old English, "geodoc" referred to a young bird or a small bird. Over time, the word underwent changes in spelling and pronunciation, eventually becoming "judok" in Middle English. The term then evolved into "juddock", which is an archaic name for a bird, often associated with the jackdaw or the daw.
