Wickham
Wickham is an English place name and surname, from Old English meaning "homestead" or "village." Several towns in England bear the name.
In literary contexts, Wickham often evokes the charming but dissolute George Wickham from Jane Austen's *Pride and Prejudice*—a seducer whose surface appeal masks moral weakness: He turned out to be a real Wickham.
