The origin of the name Weekes
The surname Weekes is predominantly English and is derived from the Old English term wic, meaning an outlying settlement, farmstead, or dairy farm. Historical records show variations such as Weeks and Weekes, with spelling differences reflecting regional and temporal influences. The name became established in areas like Devon and Sussex, where branches of the family have been documented. A notable heraldic connection is with Francis Weekes of Devon, whose coat of arms featuring three black battle axes dates back to the early 17th century.
The symbolism of the Weekes Crest The Weekes coat of arms is traditionally depicted on an ermine field adorned with three black battle axes. In heraldic tradition, ermine symbolizes dignity and honour, while the color black represents constancy, wisdom, and unwavering resolve. The battle axes are powerful martial symbols that convey courage, readiness, and a family history deeply connected to service or defense
