This is what MacLysaght (The Surnames of Ireland) has proposed but more recently, De Bhulbh (All Ireland Surnames) has modified this to 'possibly from Affleck'. The problem is that Black (The Surnames of Scotland) has proposed a completely different origin, viz. "Perhaps of local origin from Flegg in co. Norfolk".
