HUCKLE
Huckle
Huckle is an English surname of medieval origins, with its earliest recordings dating back to the 13th century. The name is believed to have regional origins, with concentrations found in the southern counties of England, particularly Essex and Kent.
One possible derivation of the surname is from the Old English personal name "Hucca," meaning "little one" or "elf." Over time, this given name evolved into a hereditary surname used to identify a descendant of someone named Hucca.
Another theory suggests that the surname may be locational, derived from places named "Huckley" or similar variants. These place names were recorded in medieval documents, and individuals residing in these areas adopted the name as a way to identify their origin.
As with many surnames, variations in spelling have occurred over the centuries, such as Huckle, Huckell, Huckley, and Huckler. Migration patterns and historical events have contributed to the dispersal of the Huckle surname beyond its original areas of concentration.
Today, individuals with the surname Huckle can be found not only in England but also in other English-speaking countries where migration has taken place. The name continues to be passed down through generations, preserving a link to its ancient origins in medieval England.
There are approximately 2,369 people named Huckle in the UK. That makes it roughly the 3,658th most common surname in Britain. Around 36 in a million people in Britain are named Huckle.
