Pickle Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Pickhill,' a parish in the North Riding of Yorkshire I suspect this is the origin, and that there was an irresistible tendency to imitate the dictionary word on the part of the bearers of the surname. Several early entries, however, point to some small locality in the West Riding.

Ricardus de Pighkeleys, 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.

Stephanus de Pykedleghes, 1379: ibid.

These persons dwelt in the village of Haworth, in which district the two names are now so familiar. In this case the word means 'the meadows on the hilltop,' the owner taking his name from residence thereon; v. Pick (a). The Directory for Wilsden, West Riding of Yorks, contains the two following names, seemingly related:

Nathan Pickles, beer-retailer.

Nathan Pighills, farmer.

It is curious to note how little the name has wandered from its native county. Nevertheless, it has reached America.

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

(English) belonging to Pickhill (Yorks, etc.) = 1 the Peak-Hill [v. Pick (English), Peak(e; and + Old English hyll] 2 the Pig-Hill [v. under Pigg]

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

(English) One who came from Pickhill (Pica’s nook, or nook by the hills), in Yorkshire.

Dictionary of American Family Names (1956) by Elsdon Coles Smith

Pikel and Pikele occur in H.R. as unprefixed surnames, with the origin of which I am unacquainted.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

From Pickhill, a parish co. York, N. R. Pikel and Pikele occur in H.R.
