Silcott Family History
Silcott Name Meaning
English (London):: possibly in some cases an irregular development of the placename Chilcote (Leicestershire) named with Old English cild ‘child young person retainer’ + cot ‘cottage hut shelter’ though early bearer forms point to a lost Middle English placename from seli + cot(e) ‘blessed cottage(s)’. perhaps a variant of Silcock; see Silcox .
