Neighbourhood profile for Fullick

Modern surname records can be compared with neighbourhood classifications. For Fullick, this points to the kinds of places where the surname is most concentrated today.

These neighbourhood labels describe areas, not individual people. They are useful because surnames often cluster through family history, migration, housing patterns and local work. A surname can be strongest in one type of neighbourhood even when people with that name live across the country.

The UK classification gives the national picture. The London classification is more specific to the capital, where housing, age profile, tenure and population mix can look quite different from the rest of the UK.

Many residents are of normal retirement age or above and live in communal establishments, and there are few dependent children.

Meaning and origin of Fullick

The surname Fullick has its origins in England, dating back to the late medieval period. It is believed to be derived from the Old English words "full" and "lyk," which together mean "full body" or "well-built." The name likely referred to a person of a sturdy or robust physique.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Fullick can be found in the Pipe Rolls of Gloucestershire from the year 1221, where it appears as "Fullik." This suggests that the name was already in use by the early 13th century in the West Country region of England.

During the 14th century, the name underwent several spelling variations, such as "Follik," "Folik," and "Folick," as evidenced in various historical documents from that period. It is also possible that the name may have been influenced by the Old French word "folie," meaning "foolish" or "wild," although this connection is less certain.

In the 15th century, the surname Fullick began to appear more frequently in records across different parts of England. One notable individual from this time was John Fullick, a merchant from Bristol who was granted a license to trade with Ireland in 1472.

During the Tudor period, the Fullick name gained some prominence. Richard Fullick (c. 1490-1555) was a prominent clergyman who served as the Archdeacon of Totnes in Devon. Another figure of note was William Fullick (c. 1520-1583), a lawyer and Member of Parliament for Dunwich in Suffolk.

In the 17th century, the Fullick surname continued to be found across various regions of England. One notable individual was Thomas Fullick (1608-1680), a wealthy landowner and Justice of the Peace in Gloucestershire.

The 18th century saw the emergence of several notable individuals bearing the Fullick surname. Among them were John Fullick (1718-1793), a respected clockmaker from London, and William Fullick (1744-1821), a renowned architect who designed several churches and country houses in Wiltshire.

As the name spread across different regions of England, it also underwent further variations in spelling, such as "Fulleck," "Fullock," and "Fullich." However, the spelling "Fullick" remained the most prevalent form throughout history.
