CONNICK Family History

This very unusual name is of ancient British, pre-Roman, origin, and is a regional or locational surname deriving from either of the places called Cannock in Staffordshire or Conock, in Wiltshire near Devizes. Cannock in Staffordshire is recorded as "Canuc" in the Saxon Charters of 956, and as "Canoc" in the 1198 Fees Court Rolls of the county, while Conock in Wiltshire appears as "Kunek" in 1242 and as "Coneke" in 1316. Both places are named from the ancient British hill-name, "Cunuc", found also as the first element in the place called "Consett" in County Durham.
