The Weeks surname in historical dictionaries

Patronymica Britannica (1860)

AA'EEKES. WEEKS. The same as Wick, which see. One of the greatest liah'datsoi this name was the neighbourhood of Hastings, though the precise locality from which it was derived is unknown. Gualterus Diaconus, the ancestor of the family of De Hastings, lords of the barony of Hastings, held a knight's fee in AVikes at the making of Domesday. Ellis, Introd. 1. 42 L AVikes, AVyke, Wykes, AVix, Wickcs, &c., seem to be mere orthographical variations.
