Around the globe, Hickson (Hickson , היקסון ) is a rare largely masculine, but infrequently female forename. The first name Hickson is habitual in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is a rare male name, Tanzania, and Nigeria, where it is a rare epicene name. More prevalently, Hickson is the last name as well as the forename.
