Huckaby

Frequency: (1578) -- (Number of times this surname appears in a sample
database of 88.7 million
names, representing one third of the 1997 US population)

English (rare in England): apparently a habitational name from _Huccaby_ in
Devon, possibly so named from Old English _woh_ ‘crooked’ + _byge_ ‘river
bend’, or _Uckerby_ in North Yorkshire, named with an unattested Old Norse
personal name, _Úkyrri_ or _Útkári_, + _býr_ ‘farmstead’.
