The surname Hickes, of Irish descent, has an interesting history rooted in the Gaelic culture of Ireland. The name originated from the Gaelic name "Ó hÁghasaigh," meaning "descendant of Aghasach." Aghasach, in turn, is derived from the word "aghaidh," which means "face." The name likely referred to an ancestor who had a remarkable or distinctive face.

In ancient Ireland, surnames were not hereditary, and people were often identified by their given name and patronymic name. However, the use of fixed surnames became more common with the introduction of English influence in Ireland. This transition occurred during the 16th and 17th centuries, a time of significant upheaval in Irish history.

During this period, many Irish families adopted English surnames for various reasons, including social and economic advancement. As a result, some individuals with the Gaelic name Ó hÁghasaigh took on the surname Hickes, which was an Anglicized version of their original name.

Over time, the surname Hickes became established within Irish communities, particularly in regions where English influence was stronger. Today, individuals with the surname Hickes can be found both in Ireland and in various parts of the world, reflecting the diaspora of Irish people throughout history.
