[Facts] "Locc" (Old Norse?), "Cunningham" (Scottish), "Kempthorne" (Old English)

Cunningham is a transfered use of a surname to a first name, from a gentleman fron Ayrshire. I believe there is a explaination of this name that came from Ireland, but this family lived in Scotland since the middle ages. Is there a wholly Scottish derivation?Kempthorne relates to a person from this town (or is it village?).
