Genealogy.com would be a good place to start. If you have a local historical/genealogical society, check with them.

go to myheritage.com that site should help. \n\nthere is also ancestry.com but you have to pay for that I think.

There used to be this site. I dont remember it. But what you have to do is try the library and stuff like that. Ask your parents and grandparents and great grandparents and so on.\n\nIf you know your from romania for example search romania on the internet and see if you can find your name. You also have to realize that your name may have changed so check both sides of your family. And if your last name is something like smith...look for things like smitheson or lotersmith cause people often would shorten their names when they move to the states or just cause its easier to say.\n\nI loved doing that. its like a big mystery. GOOD LUCK!!\n\nVote me for best answer

Did you mean surname Hucks? I found one website that gives a good description of the origin, but I was unable to copy/paste it. The link is below :-)

Look in RWWC (Link 2); use the surname and "Bristol" in birth place. Then wipe it out of BP, put it in Marriage place, then Death place.\n\nThe rest of this is a genral answer.\n\nLinks 1 - 2 are large, free general sites full of data.\nCyndi's List has 240,000 free links.\nThe Ancestry site will tell you name origins.\n\nDon't expect to find yourself or your parents or grandparents, if they are living. Most genealogists hide details of living people. It will take time, too. Most young people want to get a 16-generation pedigree chart as easily as they can download an MP3 file. You can't. \n\nhttp://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp\nhttp://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi\nhttp://www.cyndislist.com/\nhttp://www.ancestry.com/learn/facts/default.aspx?ln=

I can't seem to find a meaning for your name anywhere.  Maybe it does not have one.  I think it is just unique for you!!!

I would suggest the Electoral Register or census. Website that specialise in Family Trees would have access to this information - start at Ancestry.com and see what you can find
