Name Meaning
English (Kent, Surrey, and Sussex): from Middle English (atte) wiken, plural form of wik(e) ‘building or dwelling, especially one where dairy products are made’. Compare Wick . The surname may be habitational from a place so named, such as Wicken (Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire), Wicken Bonhunt (Essex), (Ash)wicken (Norfolk), Wyken (Warwicks), Wykin (Leicestershire), or Wigan (Huntingdonshire), but it probably more often denoted someone who worked at a dairy farm.
