Huckabee is an English surname.
The name is a variant form of the surname Huckaby and Huckerby.
This surname originated as a habitational name, derived from Huccaby in Devon, England; this place name is derived from two Old English elements: the first, woh, meaning "crooked"; the second, byge, meaning "river bend".
Another possibility is that Huckaby originated as a habitational name, derived from Uckerby, in North Yorkshire, England; this place name is derived from two Old Norse elements: the first is thought to be an unattested Old Norse personal name, either *Úkyrri or *Útkári; the second element is býr, meaning farmstead.
