English: from a Middle English personal name Clac, which is
from Old English Clacc or the Old Norse cognate
Klakkr. As a personal name this is from a word meaning ‘lump’
and may have been used as a nickname for a large or thickset man.
Reaney suggests that it could also be from clacker ‘chatterer’.
