Hancock is an English surname. It is derived from a given name, a short form of the name ''Johan'' combined with the hypocoristic suffix ''-cok'' which came into fashion in the 13th century, from ''cok'' "cock", applied to "a young lad who strutted proudly like a cock".〔Dictionary of American Family Names (2013), s.v. "Cocke"〕 As a given name, ''Hanecok'' is recorded in the 13th century in the Hundred Rolls of Yorkshire. The Dictionary of American Family names mentions an alternative Dutch etymology, from ''hanecoc'' "periwinkle".〔Dictionary of American Family Names (2013), s.v. "Hancock"〕 An Irish variation is Handcock, as borne by Baron Castlemaine. ==People from Australia== * Keith Hancock (1898–1988), historian * Lang Hancock (1909–1992), iron ore magnate * Michael Hancock (rugby league) (born 1969), rugby league footballer * Robert Hancock (born 1922), Australian rules footballer 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hancock (surname)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
