User-submitted Reference

Luckhurst means "old man of the woods". The last part of the name "hurst" means a woodland or thicket. There are many place names in Kent, England which have "hurst" as part of their place names, eg Shadoxhurst, Penshurst, Staplehurst, Chainhurst, Sissinghurst etc.

It has a similar derivation to the meaning of the "Orang-utan" also "Orang-outang".

I believe there were originally five distinct "Luckhurst" families with no apparent biological connection to each other.
