Levack

Levack is a surname of Scottish origin. It is a locational name, derived from the lands of Lovat, near Beauly in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The name Lovat itself is believed to be derived from the Gaelic "lobhat," meaning "swelling" or "place of flooding," likely referring to the River Beauly.

The Levack surname is a variant spelling of Lovat and associated with Clan Fraser of Lovat. Over time, variations in spelling occurred due to regional dialects and transcription errors.

Historically, individuals bearing the name Levack (or its variants) would have been associated with the Lovat area and likely affiliated with Clan Fraser. The surname is found primarily in Scotland, but due to emigration, it can also be found in other parts of the world, including Canada, the United States, and Australia. The surname's relative rarity suggests a smaller population descending from the original landholders or those associated with them.
