Dimmick Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Dymock,' a parish in Gloucestershire. Mr. Lower quotes with deserved ridicule an absurd statement from Burke's Landed Gentry, that this family (Dymock) claims descent from Tudor Trevor, lord of Whittington, in Shropshire, from whom sprang David ap Madoc, commonly called Dai, whence the gradual corruptions Dai-madoc, Damoc, Dymoc, Dymock.

1557. Buried — Anne, wife of John Dymmocke: St. Dionis Backchurch (London).

1504. Giles Dimmock, vicar of Duntsboum Abbotts: Atkyns' History Gloucestershire.

1746-7. Baptised — Jane, d. Lewis Dymoke: St. Dionis Backchurch (London).

A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

This ancient family, in which the office of King's Champion has long been hereditary, claim descent from Tudor Trevor, lord of Whittington in Shropshire, (ancestor of the Pennants,) from whom sprang David ap Madoc, commonly called Dai, whence the gradual corruptions, Dai-Madoc, Damoc, Dymoc, Dymock. Such is the statement in B.L.G., but having no faith in such twisted derivations, I shall take the liberty of deducing the name from the parish of Dymock in Gloucestershire, the birth-place of the "Man of Ross," and also, it is said, of the celebrated breed of sheep now called Merino, exported from thence to Spain in the fourteenth century.
