Here is another family crest, HICKS. 2 crests in one night?!!! I’ll try to keep them coming. Enjoy!

Hicks is an ancient Anglo-Saxon surname that came from the son of Richard. In Old English, patronyms were formed by adding a variety of suffixes to personal names, which changed over time and from place to place.

The variations of the surname Hicks include Hicks, Hickes, Hick, Hix and others.

First found in Yorkshire where they were seated from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants: John Hicks of the Gloucester branch settled in Long Island in 1665; Mathew Hick settled in Virginia in 1774; Elizabeth Hicks settled in Virginia in 1663.
