Origin of Surname
One suggestion is that the name comes from the French for little doe. Alternatively it is supposed to be of Germanic origin from bic (beak) and hard (strong).[1]

BICHARD SURNAME IN GUERNSEY-1575
The Guernsey branch was started by two brothers, Germain and Brandeyn Bichard, sons of John, who left Jersey and settled in Guernsey in about 1575. One settled in St Sampsons and the other in St Saviours. Another brother, John, seems to have followed them to Guernsey a few years later. Later on Brandeyn's younger son Pierre, left St Saviours to join his uncle Germain at St Sampsons.[2]
