The surname Hiccock or Hiccocks, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that can be traced back several centuries. The name originated from the Gaelic name "O hAodha," which means "descendant of Aodh," with "Aodh" being a Gaelic personal name meaning "fire" or "brightness." Over time, the name went through various anglicizations and phonetic changes, eventually becoming Hiccock or Hiccocks.
The Hiccock or Hiccocks family is believed to have originated in County Clare, Ireland. They were part of a larger clan known as the Dál gCais, which held significant power in ancient Ireland. The Hiccocks were likely involved in agriculture and land ownership, as was common among many Irish families of that time.
In the 19th century, due to various factors such as economic hardship and political unrest, many Irish families, including the Hiccock or Hiccocks family, emigrated to other countries, particularly the United States. They sought better opportunities and a fresh start in a new land.
Today, the surname Hiccock or Hiccocks can still be found in various parts of the world, with descendants of the original Irish family continuing to carry on the name and its rich history.
