The etymology of the placename is disputed; it is probably from Welsh glas ‘gray, green, blue’ + cau ‘hollows’.Scottish and Irish (Tyrone and Antrim): altered form of Closkey, a shortened and Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Bhloscaidhe ‘son of Bloscadh’ (see McCloskey ).Irish: variant of English Glasscock , which was once common in County Kildare.
