Etymology
'Lucca's spring,' v. wielle . The only pre-Conquest evidence for an OE name Luc (c )a is found in Lucan beorh (BCS 1066), but Luckington (So, W) confirms the probability of its existence.It may well be a reduced form of the OE pers. name Ludica .The name is probably only pseudo-manorial in form.
