Possibly English, a habitational name from a place with a name
meaning ‘oak ridge’, as for example Aikrigg in Cumbria (from Old Norse
eik ‘oak’ + hryggr ‘ridge’), or any of the many places
called Oakridge (from Old English ac +
hrycg). However, neither Akridge nor Oakridge are found as
surnames in current English records.
