From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
LEWKNOR: The first proven ancestor of this great Sussex family is Sir Boger de Lewknor, high-sheriff of the county in 1284. It is asserted, on I know not what evidence, that the name is derived from Levechenora, the ancient denomination of one of the hundreds of Lincolnshire. Pegge's Curial. Miscell. p. 208. But this is far-fetched, inasmuch as we have in Oxfordshire, a well-known parish, as also a hundred, still written Lewknor.
LEWKNOR: Local. A corruption of Levechenora, the denomination of one of the hundreds of Lincolnshire, England.
