Ficker Family History

Ficker Surname Meaning

German: nickname for a restless person from an agent derivative of Middle High German vicken ‘to rub or fidget’. German: from a short form of an ancient Germanic personal name composed with Old High German fridu ‘peace’ or frik ‘battle happy’.

English: perhaps a nickname for a flatterer or deceiver from an unrecorded Middle English fikere fekere a derivative of Middle English fiken ‘to wag the head fawningly; to deceive by flattery’.

Compare Middle English fikelere ‘flatterer deceiver’ (from the related verb fikelen). Alternatively perhaps from an unrecorded Middle English fikere fekere ‘beater’ (of metals or of wool cloth flax etc.).

Compare Middle Dutch fikere with this sense a derivative of Middle Dutch ficken ‘to beat’.
