Best Answer

Dickerson comes from the diminutive Dick, which is a pet-form of the given forename Richard. Richard was born from a rare Anglo-Saxon name "Ricehard", known to mean "Rule Hard."

The ending suffix of -son, of course, translates it to "Son of Richard."

It also could be an occupational surname: "Son of the maker of ditches, dikes, holes, etc."

Ultimately, it is originally English.
