    It has two possible old english origins: a goat hurder or a derived name of a biblical prophet

    Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Crabháin (County Galway) or Mac Crabháin (Louth, Monaghan) ‘descendant (or ‘son’) of Crabhán’.English: regional name from the district of West Yorkshire so called, which is probably ‘garlic place’, from a British word, the ancestor of Welsh craf ‘garlic’.

    e is a patronymic form of Dick, which is
    of Scottish and English origin, and is derived from the pet form
    of the personal name Richard. The personal name was originally
    known as "Ricehard", meaning "a hard ruler", derived from the Germanic
    "ric", power and "hard", hardy, brave, strong; the name was later
    developed into Ricard. The Normans spread the present forms of the
    name, Richard, after the Conquest of 1066. The name development since
    1366 (see below) includes the following: John Dykonesson (1388,
    Yorkshire); Henry Dicason (1518, Yorkshire); Gilbert Dychenson (1585,
    Yorkshire); and Nicholas Dikersone (1598, Norfolk). The modern
    patronymics of the name include: Dickinson, Dickenson, Dickison, Dicke(-)son and Dickason. Recordings from London Church Registers include:
    the marriage of Alexander Dickinson and Elizabeth Worship on April
    24th 1649, at St. Katherine by the Tower, and the christening of
    Bartholomew, son of John and Penelope Dickinson, on August 24th 1718,
    at St. Bartholomew the Great. The first recorded spelling of the family
    name is shown to be that of William Dykouson, which was dated 1366, in
    the "Subsidy Rolls of Lancashire", during the reign of King Edward 111,
    known as "The Father of the Navy", 1327 - 1377. Surnames became
    necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England
    this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every
    country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants
    of the original spelling.
