My father dabbled in Genealogy and he researched and wrote the following in the late 70s:

"Trickey - Trigg (Norwegian in origin)
Trigge - Tryggui - The Trustee, True.
A Tryggui was, of course, the father of King Olav Tryggvesson (1000) of the Sagas. The form in our 13-14th century records was Trig. The word in the second element in the name of the Norseking of Dublin, Sigtrygr, who figures in the great Nial Sagas.
(From Bardsley - English and Welsh Surnames.)

Most of the sagas treat of conditions on Iceland and of the history of the Kings of Norway."

My father also wrote that Joseph's parents (William Joseph Trickey, married to Mary Rebecca Pilkington) came from England and settled in South Carolina "at the time of the Hugenots" in the 1600s and had 12 sons.

I have a large folder of information on the Cains and the Trickeys that in time I'll add, or at least post and reconcile on proper genealogy websites.
