The surname PALODICHUK is of Ukrainian origin, tracing its roots back to the 16th century.

The name is derived from the Ukrainian word "palodiy," which means "a maker of wooden handles or sticks."

In the early days, surnames were often based on occupations or trades, and PALODICHUK likely referred to an individual or a family whose primary occupation was making wooden handles, sticks, or other simple wooden tools. This suggests that the name's bearers were likely involved in woodworking or related crafts.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the PALODICHUK surname can be found in a historical document from the city of Lviv, dated 1612. This document mentions a certain Petro PALODICHUK, who was a local woodworker and craftsman.
