Alderwick Family History

Alderwick Name Meaning

apparently from an unidentified place named with Old English alor ‘alder’ + Old English wīc ‘specialized or outlying farm’. However no medieval bearers have been found to support this and it is more likely that Alderwick is an altered form of another Wilts name probably Aldericke. Compare John Aldericke 1670 John Alderwick 1679 John Aldric 1712 in IGI (Broughton Gifford Wilts) where the spelling -wick appears to be a hypercorrection mistakenly assuming -ick to be a vulgar pronunciation of -wick. Ald(e)ric(k) (see Aldrick ) is a variant of Aldridge .
