Tikkanen

Tikkanen is a Finnish surname. It is derived from the personal name "Tikkanen," which is itself a diminutive form of the name "Tiitus" (Titus). Titus is a Latin name of uncertain meaning, possibly related to the word "titulus," meaning "title" or "honor." The name Tikkanen, as a surname, is thus patronymic in origin, indicating descent from someone named Tiitus or Tikkanen. It is a relatively common surname in Finland.
