I think you're right about 'deacon's wife' or something along those lines. Polish Diak/Dyjak means 'seminarist in a Ukrainian church' which seems to fit perfectly. However, Scottish Diack seems to be another kettle of fish altogether according to http://www.ancestry.com/facts/diak-places-origin.ashx.
