English: habitational name from places in Devon called Widecombe in the Moor, Widdicombe, or Widdacombe, or from Withycombe in Somerset or Withycombe Raleigh in Devon. Both examples of Withycombe are named from Old English withig ‘willow’ + cumb ‘valley’, and Widecombe probably has the same derivation.
