Try these:
1. Surname: Clack. This interesting name derives from the Olde
English nickname Clacc originally given to a chatterer or one who
clacked. The first recording of the forename is an early one "Clac de
Fugelburne", Cambridgeshire, circa 975. The surname first appears in
the latter half of the 12th Century. An alternate spelling Clac is
entered in the 1327, Subsidy Rolls of Somerset. In 1774, one, John
Clack married an Ann Jeffreis in St. Georges Church, Hanover Square,
London. The name is recorded in Glamorgan, Llantwitfarde (Wales) the
following century. John Henry Clack, son of Henry and Ann Clack was
baptised there on December 20th 1868.The Coat of Arms granted to the
family of Herefordshire and Wallingford, county Berkshire on 13th
November, 1768 has the blazon of a red shield thereon an eagle
displayed ermine, within a bordure engrailed erminoise. The crest
being a demi gold eagle. The first recorded spelling of the family
name is shown to be that of Godricius Clacca, which was dated 1169, in
the Pipe Rolls of Berkshire, during the reign of King Henry 11, known
as the Builder of Churches, 1154 - 1189. Surnames became necessary
when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was
known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country
have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of
the original spelling.
2. My Dutch sister-in-law also mentions a Dutch word for dying wool.
3. I prefer this; Clack meant bright. (Now I'm trying to remember
where I heard this, perhaps disproving the theory).

*Clack *
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
