Hoeck (now Höck) is German. It's the nickname of a merchant or retailer (Höker). You'll find information on the first bearer of the surname in the US at http://tinyurl.com/3sb9vk4 but it's a common name in Germany as you can see at http://tinyurl.com/3ld7wjb so your ancestor could be another Hoeck who came over.
