The Rack surname in historical dictionaries
Patronymica Britannica (1860)
RACK. This word, in our provincial dialects, and in Old English, has so many meanings, that it Is difficult to decide on the probable origin of the name. Halliwell gives no less than seventeen distinct definitions of the word, and I could, if need were, add several more.
