The famous name Craddock originated in the very beginning of Welsh (British) history. It derives from the Gaelic personal name Caradoc, a derivative of the Ancient "Caractacus", Chief of the Britons. The Chief demonstrated such bravery that his life was spared by the Emperor of Rome, Claudius, Circa 50 AD. The site of his capital was believed to be Caer Caradoc in Shropshire. In 1205, the first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of William Craddoc, during the reign of King John.
