- Elwick: An English surname that likely derives from a locational name meaning “El’s specialized farm or settlement,” with “El” possibly referring to a personal name or a geographical feature and “wick” from Old English wīc meaning “dwelling place” or “farm.” Several places in England (e.g., Elwick in County Durham and Elwick in Northumberland) bear this name, which may have given rise to the surname.
