Ricketts
Was looking to find the background for my last name?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not absolutely 100% sure, but I believe it is a form of the name Richard, meaning 'little Richard' as generally 'ett' at the end of a name means little. So somewhere along the line one of your ancestors had a father named Richard.
