The surname Ricketts has its origins in England, but there is also a significant presence of Ricketts families of Irish descent.
The name is believed to be derived from the Old English personal name "Richard," meaning "brave ruler" or "powerful leader." Over time, the name evolved and variations such as Ricketts, Rickets, and Rickards emerged.
In the context of Irish genealogy, the Ricketts surname is most commonly found in counties such as Cork, Kerry, and Waterford. It is thought that the Ricketts families in Ireland can be traced back to English settlers who arrived during the Plantation of Ireland in the 16th and 17th centuries.
During this period, English settlers were encouraged to move to Ireland, leading to the establishment of English communities in various parts of the country. Some Ricketts families may have been part of this migration, gradually assimilating into Irish society over generations.
It is important to note that the history of the Ricketts surname is complex, and individual family histories may vary. Genealogical research, including the examination of birth, marriage, and death records, can provide more specific information about the origins and migration of particular Ricketts families of Irish descent.
