The Sack surname in historical dictionaries
Patronymica Britannica (1860)
SACK. A loose garment — a word still in use. There was an ancient fraternity called 'fratres saccati,' or sac-friars, from the coarse sackcloth garment which they wore. "Et eodem tempore (1257) novus ordo apparuit Londiui, qui, quia saccis incedebant iuduti, Fratres Saccati vocabantur." Matthew Paris. See Archajologia, iii. 121).
