Origin / History of the Buckby Name This surname, with variant spellings Buckbee, Bugbee and Bugby, is of English origin from a place near Daventry in Northamptonshire. Recorded as Buchebi in the Domesday Book of 1086, and as Buckeby in the 1203 Curia Regis Rolls of that county, the place was so named from Bucca, an old Scandinavian personal name, plus the old Norse "by", homestead or settlement; hence, "Bucca's settlement". The surname from this source was first recorded in the latter part of the 13th Century. Locational names were originally given to the Lord of the manor or as a means of identification to those who left their place of origin to settle elsewhere.
