Hickmott Family History
Hickmott Name Meaning
English (Kent): relationship name meaning ‘brother-in-law of Hick’ from the Middle English personal name Hick (a pet form of Richard) + mawth ‘male in-law’ (compare northern dialect maugh from Old Norse mágr or Old English magu). The exact nature of the relationship designated is always not clear; the Middle English word meant ‘relative by marriage’ but was also used occasionally of a female blood relation.
