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

(English) may be apocopated forms of ‘Titchen-Herd’, i.e. Kid-Herd [v. Titchen]; but the analogy of Buller and Calver seems to show that the second element is really the agential suff. -er; and in any case the meaning is the same.

Lower, 'Eng. Surn.', ii. 43, says: “A village in western Sussex bears the name Itchenor. In the same district resides a family surnamed Titchenor.” This is perhaps worth mentioning, Lower’s idea being that ‘Titchenor’ “is probably a corruption of ‘De Itchenor.’” If he had suggested that the T- of 'Titchenor’ had been “attracted’’ from the preposition ‘at’ it would have been more to the point; but neither case is probable.

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

A West Sussex family of this name reside in the neighbourhood of the village of Itchenor; hence it is probable that the name was originally either At-Itchenor or D'ltchenor.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

TICHENOR: Local. Probably a corruption of At Itchenor, 'T Itchenor, from the river Itchen; the name of a village in Sussex, England.
