The surname Tutchin was first found in Sussex where the name is thought to have been from "Tichenor, probably a corruption of At Itchenor, 'T Itchenor, from the river Itchen; the name of a village." 1
However, another source claims the name denotes someone "who came from Tichnor (Tyca's shore), in Kent. 2
And finally to confuse matters more, another source claims the name the surname "is derived from an occupation. Mr. Lower, quoting Mr. Ferguson, says, 'Dutch teekenaar, a drawer or designer' 3. This seems the more probable as the surname is modern in England, and may be the result of immigration." 4 "Ticknor is a famous American name." 5
