Hickman is used as a family name or surname in Ireland, England. It is 7 characters long in length.
The pedigree of the extinct baronet family, Hickman of Gains borough, is traced to Robert Fitz-Hickman, lord of the manors of Bloxham and Wickham, county of Oxford, 56 Henry III. Hence the name must originally have been a baptismal appellation. In the next reign, we find both a Hykeman and a Walter Hikeman, in the same county, the former being apparently a Christian name.
The servant of Hick, a pet form of Richard meaning "rule, hard".
