Hello Dr. Martin: I am interested in name origins. My lines are diverse. Smotherman derived from English Smithyman. Obviously a Blacksmith or Smithy Sikes. English: Sike is a river and Sikes are people who lived by the river. Scottish: Stream flowing from a bog. American version I presume would be Riverrats. (Hahahaha) Got any ideas about Hinchey or Aycock. Both I believe are English. Would appriciate information. The only thing that jumps to mind for Hinchey is "hinchman" and the other one I have no clue. Marsha B. Marsha B.
