"Doc" is the shortened form of doctor .

As a proper name (rather than a title) "Doc" is of Welsh origin and not short for anything - it's just a short name! It derives from "Madoc" or "Maddock".

Sometimes used as a nickname too, for example Doc Holiday was really called John, but earned his nickname because he was a dentist.
