Re: Website for Information on Surnames
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".

Though Black offers no evidence to back up the Norfolk connection.

True, which is why I wrote that "Fleck is also found in Ireland and Scotland but the origin is different [from English] and basically undetermined."
