 The wealthier Wick Dive takes its name from "William de Dive", who acquired it in 1242, while Wick Hamon derives from the "de Hamon" family, who held the estate in the 12th century.The Wick portion is either derived from the Saxon Word "Wick" for farm, or the Roman 'vicus', for settlement, often associated with an adjacent Roman garrison, farm or centre of industry.This is the most likely origin of the name here.
