The ancestors of the Dicey family come from the ancient Scottish kingdom of Dalriada. Their surname comes from the name Dick, which is a diminutive of Richard.

Medieval spelling was at best an intuitive process, and translation between Gaelic and English was no more effective. These factors caused an enormous number of spelling variations in Dalriadan names. In fact, it was not uncommon to see a father and son who spelled their name differently. Over the years, Dicey has been spelled Dickie, Dickey, Dikkie and others.

First found in Renfrewshire, where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
