"LECKIE, LECKY. An old surname common in the shires of Dumbarton and Stirling, derived from the barony of Leckie in the parish of Cargunnock, Stirlingshire. Murdoch Leckie received a grant of two fourth parts of Bathewnn and Altremony from Robert in (RMS., i, app. 11, 1819). David Lekky was denounced rebel in 1537 (Trials, i, p. 178), Janet Laiky appears in Cammok, parish of Glenylla, 1599, and Euphemia Laikie in Carneleithe, 1694 (Brechin). The surname appears as Lecque among the Scots Guards in France, and the Leckies of Antrim and Carlow in Ireland are of Scottish descent. In Forman's heraldic MS. the name is spelled Leuke. The individual who had a charter of the lands of Leckie in the reign of David n was a descendant of Core, brother of Maldouen, third earl of Lennox (Sc. Peer., p. 330). "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
