The surname Leck has its roots in Ireland. It is an anglicized version of the Gaelic name Ó Leacháin, which means "descendant of Leachán." The Gaelic name Leachán is a diminutive form of Leach, which originally meant "physician" or "herbologist."
The Leck surname is most commonly found in County Galway and County Westmeath in Ireland. The name has variations such as Lek, Leke, and Leak. It is believed that the Leck family originally hailed from the ancient kingdom of Ui Maine in County Galway.
During the time of English colonization in Ireland, many Irish surnames were anglicized to make them easier to pronounce and spell for English officials. This led to the transformation of Ó Leacháin to Leck among some families.
The name Leck has spread beyond Ireland, and today it can be found in other parts of the world, particularly in the United States, Canada, and Australia, due to Irish emigration. Many Irish individuals with the surname Leck left Ireland during the Great Famine in the mid-19th century in search of better opportunities abroad.
