Almack Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

The family have a tradition that the first Almack was a Mac-All, of Argyleshire, who transposed the syllables of his name on coming to the South, Most if not all the existing hearers of this singular patronymic descend from a Richard Almoke, of Yorkshire, whose curious will, with that of his son John, is printed in Arch. Journ, v. 316. In 34 and 35, Hen. VIII., this Richard is written Awmoke, and still later Hawmoke. It is worth recording that "Almack Place," in Hong Kong, was named after William A., one of the founders of the city of Victoria in that Colony, who died on his voyage from China in 1846. The founder of the celebrated Almack's Rooms was of a Yorkshire Quaker family. The Almack motto, based upon the supposed Scottish extraction of the race, is MACK AL SICKER.

— Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

From Almeneches, a location name in Normandy (?) There is a tradition that a Scotchman, coming to London, changed his name from MacAll to Allmack! It may be so.
