I have read that the Irish Fleck is an Ulster Scots form of the Scottish Affleck, itself a variant of the surname/place name Auchinleck (Gaelic, 'field of the flat stones').
One could begin a study of the subject by reading the Wikipedia article on surnames and following up the links (assuming one hasn't already done so).
