Family name origins & meanings

  • Southern English : perhaps a variant of Tichner, a topographic name for someone who lived at a crossroads or a fork in the road, Old English twicen(e) (a derivative of twā ‘two’). This occurs as a place name, particularly in Devon in the form Twitchen, and in one case as Tuchenor.
