The Pidcock surname in historical dictionaries

PIDCOCK. 1. Doubtless the diminutive of some Christian name — perhaps of Peter, thus : — Peter, Pete, Petecock, Pidcock. B.L.G. asserts that "the surname is derived from the armorial bearing of the family, a pled cock." As it happens, however, the cock is not pied, but simply parted per fesse, Or and Argent. 2. See Pidd.
