Lock
Lock is thought to have a few possible origins, all of which link back to the Old English word ‘loc’ meaning a lock or bolt. It could have been used as an occupational surname and given to a person who was a locksmith. A development of the word loc is ‘loke’ which was the word for a gated area that had a lock on. this means that the surname could also have been used as a topographical surname for a person who lived next to such an area, or an occupational surname for a person who minded such a gate. |
