Wilcox is a family name that research shows has been established since the tenth century. Wilcox is a British occupational name of old Dutch origins. The earliest presence of the surname was found in 1124 from the county of Kent in the UK. This was a regular occupational term during the Anglo-Saxon period in Northern England, but now the name is fairly widespread in Northern Europe. The surname went global in the fifteenth and sixteenth century with the expansion of the British empire and the establishment of independant colonies.
Wilcox is the 450th most popular name in Europe. In the UK alone there are 78750 people with the surname Wilcox. Somerset currently holds the greatest density of people with the last name Wilcox. An early eighteenth century Wilcox was noted as a keen drinker after police allegedly threw him out of no less than eight taverns in one evening. A tarnished past is evident, especially around the winter of 1927 when John Wilcox stole a greyhound and was sentenced to prison. 101
