    patronymic from the medieval personal name Filkin, Felkin, a pet form of Phil (see Fill ), short for Philip.

    habitational name from a place so called in Oxfordshire, whose name is probably a tribal derivative (with Old English -ingas ‘people of’) of the Old English personal name Filica (of uncertain origin). Surname forms such as de Filking(es) are found in the surrounding area from the 12th and 13th centuries.
