The "-by" or "-bee" suffix on a British surname almost always comes originally from the Norse word for "farm." When the Vikings invaded and settled the eastern part of what is now England they often used this word for their settlements, many of which latter became villages, which became in turn the surname used for those who came from them.

I have no idea about the origin of "Hucka-."
