JODOC. English.
From Latin Jodocus (q.v.),
meaning "sportive." The French form is Josse.
(History of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
... Judicael, commonly called
Giguel, eldest son of Juthael, became king of Britany about the year
630. This prince soon after renounced this perishable crown to
labour more securely for the acquisition of an incorruptible one, and
retired into the monastery of St. Meen, in the diocess of St. Malo,
where he lived in so great sanctity as to be honoured after his death
with the title of the Blessed Judicael. When he resigned the crown
he offered it to his younger brother Jodoc, called by the French Josse. But
Jodoc had the same inclinations with his elder brother.
However, to consult the divine will, he shut himself up for eight days
in the monastery of Lanmamiont, in which he had been brought up, and
prayed night and day with many tears that God would direct him to
undertake what was most agreeable to him, and most conducive to his
divine honour and his own sanctification. He put an end to his
deliberation by receiving the clerical tonsure at the hands of the
bishop of Avranches, and joined a company of eleven pilgrims who
purposed to go to Rome... (Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, & other
Principal Saints, Butler, v.12, 1813)
