Bickard Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
“Nicholas de Bichar” witnesses a charter of William de Granavilla to Gateshead: and was, without doubt, the same Nicholas, mentioned in the Rot. Cur. Northumbriæ, who was Lord of Byker, near Newcastle, in the reign of Henry III. This manor was anciently held in grand serjeancy, by carrying the King’s writ between the rivers Tyne and Coquet, and making distresses of goods for the King’s debts.—Hutchinson's Northumberland. The family continued there till 1346. Richard de Bicker was summoned to attend the great Council at Westminster in 1324.—Palgrave's Parl. Writs.
The name is found at a rather earlier date in Lincolnshire, where Gerard de Bikere occurs in the Rotul. Cancellarii of 1202, and was presumably the owner of Bicker, “a very ancient and pleasant village, nine miles from Folkingham.” But in this, as in the foregoing case, it seems most probable that the lord adopted the name of his manor, instead of imposing upon it his own; and if so, it can only be an interpolation with which we have no need to concern ourselves. Nevertheless it is noteworthy that we meet with it in other localities. Peter Becard, of Yorkshire, and William Bikere, of Bedfordshire, were living in the time of Edward I. (Rotul. Hundredorum). John Becard is included in the list of the gentlemen of Nottinghamshire made in 1433.
