The surname Wickens or Wiggins, of Irish descent, has an interesting history that dates back several centuries.

The name originated from the Gaelic surname "Uiginn," which means "youth" or "young warrior." It was first introduced into Ireland by the Anglo-Normans during the 12th century. These Normans, who were of French origin, invaded Ireland and established their own settlements.

Over time, the original Gaelic spelling of Uiginn was anglicized to Wickens or Wiggins. This anglicization was common during the period when English became the dominant language in Ireland. Many Irish families began adopting English surnames, either voluntarily or due to pressure from English rulers.

The Wickens or Wiggins surname can also be traced back to the Plantation of Ulster in the 17th century. During this period, Scottish and English settlers were encouraged to migrate to Ireland and settle in the province of Ulster. These settlers often adopted Irish surnames or modified their own surnames to blend in with the local population. It is possible that some individuals with the surname Wickens or Wiggins have Scottish or English ancestry due to this migration.

Today, individuals with the surname Wickens or Wiggins can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world where Irish migration has occurred, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The surname continues to be a part of Irish heritage and represents the diverse history of Ireland.
