Family name origins & meanings

  • English : from the Middle English personal name Hick + Middle English maugh, mough ‘relative’ (from Old Norse mágr or Old English magu). The exact nature of the relationship is not clear; the Middle English word meant ‘relative by marriage’, but was also used occasionally of a female blood relation.
