Last name origins & meanings:
- German: habitational name from a place called Wacken near
Itzehoe.
- German: variant of Waack 1.
- French: perhaps derived from an old Flemish word wacque, a measure of
weight (Middle Dutch wage ‘weight’), hence an occupational name
for an official responsible for weighing produce (in particular
produce paid as rent in kind), or else for one who was in charge of
checking weights and measures used by merchants in a market.
