Tickle Family History
Tickle Name Meaning
English (Lancashire): habitational name from Tickhill in South Yorkshire, so named from the Old English personal name or byname Tica (of uncertain origin) or ticce(n) ‘kid’ + hyll ‘hill’. Probably an altered spelling of German Tickel, from a pet form of Dick, from a Germanic personal name formed with Old High German diot ‘people’ (see for example Dietrich).
