The surname Bickerton has its origins in the British Isles, specifically in the region of Cheshire, England. The name is derived from the Old English words "bicc," meaning a pick or mattock used for digging, and "tun," meaning an enclosure or settlement. It is believed that the Bickerton name originally referred to someone who lived in or near a settlement where such tools were used.
In terms of Irish descent, the Bickerton surname can be traced back to the 17th century. During this time, many English settlers migrated to Ireland, particularly to the Ulster region, in search of new land and opportunities. It is likely that some individuals with the Bickerton name were part of this wave of English migration to Ireland.
Over time, the Bickerton surname became more anglicized, reflecting the influence of English culture and language in Ireland. Today, individuals with the Bickerton surname can be found in various parts of Ireland, although it is not as common as some other Irish surnames. The Bickerton name has also spread to other parts of the world due to emigration, particularly to countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
