Dickons Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Diccon'—not Dickin, for which there is no evidence. The parent, of course, is Richard. The nicks, of names beginning with R seem to have taken the initial D; compare Dodge for Roger, Dob for Robert, and Dumphrey for Humphrey. But our Dickins really represents the French form Diquon or Digon; and Diggon or Diccon as a popular name for Richard lasted till recent times. All early instances are French in form. There is no Dickin in the Hundred Rolls. Even Dick is rare; Hick, or Higg, or Hitch being the first popular English nicks, of Richard; v. Hick, Higgin, and Hitchcock.
'"One of the messengers of Eleanor, countess of Montfort, in 1265, was called Diquon": Blaauw's Barons' Wars. "Jockey of Norfolk, be not too bold. For Dickon thy master is bought and sold."' (King Richard III, Act v. Scene 3.)': Lower. 'Gog's souls, Diccon, Gib our cat had eat the bacon, too.': Gammer Gurton's Needle.
It is certain that nearly all our Dickinses and Dickinsons, Dickenses and Dickensons, &c, are mere assimilations to the English suffix in -Mm, as there is no single trace that an English form existed. The French form got naturalized. In North Lancashire the French form lingered on till the close of the 16th century.
