My maiden name is SCHLAGHECK. I am told SCHLAG means best of the best. I once looked up HECK in a German dictionary in our local library. I think it said: REAR/DECK/CARRIAGE.

I understand there are many people with the surname of SCHLAGHECK in Germany...especially in STUTGARDT.

I would still like to find a definitive meaning of HECK to shed some light on my surname.
