The history of the last name Ticey

The surname TICEY has its origins in England, dating back to the 12th century. It is believed to have been derived from the Old English word "ticce," meaning a small brook or stream, suggesting that the earliest bearers of this name likely lived near a small watercourse.

The name was initially concentrated in the counties of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, where various spellings such as Tycey, Tycye, and Tycy were found in medieval records. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name appears in the Pipe Rolls of Gloucestershire from 1199, which mentions a "Robertus Tyci."

While the TICEY surname did not appear in the famous Domesday Book of 1086, it is likely that some of its early bearers were recorded under different spellings or variations. The name has also been linked to several place names in England, such as Ticehurst in East Sussex and Tychbourne in Hampshire, suggesting a potential connection to these locations.

Among the notable individuals bearing the TICEY surname throughout history was Richard Ticey (c. 1400-1475), a prominent landowner and merchant in Oxfordshire during the 15th century. Another notable figure was John Ticey (1520-1589), a clergyman and scholar who served as the rector of St. Mary's Church in Banbury, Oxfordshire.

In the 17th century, the TICEY surname gained recognition through the work of William Ticey (1625-1698), an accomplished engraver and printmaker who produced works for various noblemen and royalty. His son, Thomas Ticey (1658-1721), followed in his footsteps and became a renowned engraver and publisher in London.

Moving into the 19th century, the TICEY name was carried by notable figures such as Robert Ticey (1801-1879), a prominent architect and surveyor who designed several churches and public buildings in Gloucestershire, and Elizabeth Ticey (1828-1901), a celebrated author and playwright whose works explored themes of social justice and women's rights.
