One of the earliest recorded instances of the name dates back to the 13th century, where a Robert de Lynchecombe is mentioned in the Assize Rolls of Staffordshire in 1292. This suggests the name may have originated in the county of Staffordshire or a nearby region.

In the 14th century, the surname appears in various spellings, such as Lynchecombe, Lynchcombe, and Lynchecumb, in records from counties like Somerset and Wiltshire. This indicates the name had spread to different parts of southern and western England by that time.

Another individual of note was John Lincicome, a member of the English Parliament who represented the borough of Taunton in Somerset during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I in the late 16th century.

During the 17th century, the surname appears to have been more concentrated in the counties of Somerset and Wiltshire, with records showing families with the name residing in towns and villages such as Frome, Warminster, and Trowbridge.

In the 18th century, a prominent figure with the surname was Thomas Lincicome, a wealthy landowner and magistrate from the city of Bath in Somerset. He was known for his involvement in local governance and his philanthropic efforts in the community.
