The meaning behind Dicks

Many Dicks families will find their roots under Dix, the form most records use. The family name meaning is “Son of Dick”, the same as for Dix.

Before spelling was fixed, Dix was also written Dicks. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists. 4,228 Americans were listed as Dicks in the 2010 census. French birth records list 105 children named Dicks between 1891 and 2000.
