Leckie Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

An old surname common in the shires of Dumbarton and Stirling, derived from the barony of Leckie in the parish of Gargunnock, Stirlingshire. Murdoch Leckie received a grant of two fourth parts of Bathewnn and Altremony from Robert III (RMS., I, app. II, 1819). David Lekky was denounced rebel in 1537 (Trials, I, p. 178), Janet Laiky appears in Cammok, parish of Glenylla, 1599, and Euphemia Laikie in Carneleithe, 1694 (Brechin). The surname appears as Lecque among the Scots Guards in France, and the Leckies of Antrim and Carlow in Ireland are of Scottish descent. In Forman's heraldic MS. the name is spelled Leuke. The individual who had a charter of the lands of Leckie in the reign of David II was a descendant of Corc, brother of Maldouen, third earl of Lennox (Sc. Peer., p. 330).
