Name Meaning

English (Hertfordshire): variant of Titchmarsh, a habitational name from Titchmarsh in Northamptonshire. The placename derives from the Old English personal name Ticcea + Old English mersc ‘marsh’. The surname became associated by folk etymology with the word titmouse (Middle English titmose), denoting a small songbird. There may have been some confusion with Tidmarsh .
