Meaning & History

Scottish: variant of Halkett, which is probably a habitational name from the lands of Halkhead in Renfrewshire, named with Middle English hauk, halk ‘hawk’ + wude ‘wood’.

English (mainly central England): from a pet form of the medieval personal name Hack, Hake (see Hake).

English: from Middle English haket, a kind of fish, hence perhaps a nickname for someone supposed to resemble such a fish, or a metonymic occupational name for a fisherman or fish seller.

Irish: when it is not the English name, this may also be an Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Eachaidh (see Caughey, McGaffey).

FOREBEARS This name was established in Ireland by William de Haket, who accompanied King John and was granted estates in Tipperary in the early 13th century. The form de Haket suggests this is the Scottish habitational name. The spelling Hackett was first used by his descendants in the 16th century.
