Name Meaning

Americanized form of German Klick or Klück (see Kluck ) or Glück (see Gluck ).

English (Gloucestershire): apparently a habitational name connected with a piece of land in the parish of Ermington near Plymouth in Devon, early recorded as Clekeland(e), and still known as Clickland. The placename may be from Old English cleaca ‘stepping stone, boundary stone’ (of Celtic origin) + land ‘territory’.

Americanized form of Polish and possibly also of Czech and Slovak Klik (see Klick ).
