The Lightbody surname in historical dictionaries
An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names (1857)
A writer, somewhere, derives this name from Licht, a dead body, a tomb, and Bodee, contracted from Boadicea,--meaning the tomb or grave of this British Queen; a locality. The name, however, is more likely to have originated from bodily peculiarity.
