Abeckett Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A'BECKETT: A name of doubtful etymology. Mr. Ferguson derives it from the Anglo-Saxon becca, an axe, of which he considers it a diminutive. The Old French bequet is applied to a species of apple, a fish, and a bird, and the arms attributed to Thomas a Becket contain three beckits, or birds like Cornish choughs. The A by which the name is prefixed is, however, the customary abbreviation of at, and shows it to he of the local class. The Anglo-Saxon becc, a brook, whence we have many local and family names, may have had a diminutive becket, or "the little brook," but I confess that I find no such word.
