It is our belief that the name originated in Scotland as Leckie and possibly before that McGregor.There was a death penalty put on all septs of the McGregor clan by the English.Some migrated to Ireland and used the Irish variation of Lackey or Lackie or Lecky or Leckey.Coming to America, it became Lakey, Lecky, Leckie, Lackey or who knows what else.The majority of the people couldn't read or write so on documents it was spelled according to the writer of the document.Don't quote this as fact but it is a probable theory that you may want to investigate.
