The surname Hickman is of both English and Irish origin. It's derived from the medieval name 'Richard', which was commonly shortened to 'Hick', and the suffix 'man' meaning 'servant of'. Therefore, Hickman can be translated as 'servant of Richard'.
In England, the name first appeared in Worcestershire where they held a family seat from early times. The Hickman name was brought to Ireland by English settlers during the Norman invasion in the 12th century and during the Cromwellian period in the mid-17th century.
In Ireland, the Hickmans settled in Clare and became one of the prominent Anglo-Irish families. Notably, they owned considerable estates in County Clare and held the title of Baronet of Fenloe. As with many Anglo-Irish families, the Hickmans intermarried with local Gaelic families, assimilating into the Irish culture and society over the centuries.
However, due to socio-political changes, particularly the Great Famine and the subsequent mass emigration, the Hickman name spread to various parts of the world. Today, there are Hickmans of Irish descent living globally, with the name still prevalent in County Clare.
