Sykes

"Sykes" is a surname of Anglo-Saxon English origins, which generally has topographical roots as it original linguistic origin. The name derives from the Old Norse word "sík" or "síkja", meaning a small stream, marshy hollow, or gully. It eventually was used to describe an individual who resided near such a topographical feature. In time, this would evolve into "syke" or "sykes" in Middle English. As a surname, it began showing-up in English records as early as the 13th century. It is relatively more common in the north of England, reflecting the Norse linguistic influence in that region.
