Pickles 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.
Genit., and pl., of Pickle, q.v.
In Yorkshire, the surnames Pickles and Pighills seem to have been interchangeable.
“Little Pike” (Weapon).
Herbert Pigole, Normandy 1180-95 (Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae); Robert Pikel, Engl. c. 1272 (Rotuli Hundredorum).
