'HIGGINBOTHAM' The surname of Higginbotham is generally believed to be derived from the residence of its first bearers at a place called Higginbotham, in the neighborhood of Marple and Macclesfield, East Cheshire, England. It is generally agreed that the name, itself, wa first given to "the bottom, or hollow" depression in the land, where Higgin or Hickin resided. Higgin and Hickin being diminuitive forms of the nickname Hick for Richard. Some historians, however maintain that the name is of German origin and a corruption of the name Ickenbaum, meaning an Oak tree. In ancient English and early American records the name appears in 21 spellings and more. For further information see:familysearch.
