Higginbotham Family History
Higginbotham Name Meaning
English (Lancashire and Yorkshire): habitational name from a place
in Lancashire now known as Oakenbottom. The history of the place name
is somewhat confused, but it is probably composed of the Old English
elements ?cen or acen ‘oaken’ + botme
‘broad valley’. During the Middle Ages this name became successively
Eakenbottom and Ickenbottom, the first element becoming
associated with the dialect word hicken or higgen
‘mountain ash’ or the personal name Higgin.
