Family name origins & meanings
- English : from the medieval personal name Hucke, perhaps from the Old English personal name Hucca or Ucca, which may in some cases be a pet form of Old English Ūhtrǣd. Later, however, this name fell completely out of use and the forms became inextricably confused with those of Hugh.
- German : topographic name from a term meaning ‘bog’.
- German and Dutch : from a pet form of the personal name Hugo (see Hugh).
