Facts About
Locke
Locke has various separate origins that it can be traced to. It could have been used as a descriptive surname for a person with curly locks of hair, from the Old English ‘loc’ meaning curly. It could also come from the Old English ‘loc’ meaning to lock, in which case it could have been an occupational surname for a locksmith. Sometimes the word ‘loc’ was used to refer to an enclosed area that could be locked or opened, and in this case the surname could have been given to the person in charge of this lock, or simply to a person living next to such a place. English philosopher John Locke is a famous bearer of this surname. |
