Havelock

1) A Name, either the first or last. Attributed origins and meanings vary, however a commonly applied meaning is "Sea-contest", "Sea-battle" or "Sea war". One of the earliest instances is in the Middle English romance, the Lay of Havelok the Dane. Others bearing the name include Sir Henry Havelock (an early 19th century general), Havelock Ellis (physician, psychologist, writer and and social reformer, probably best known for his studies of human sexuality), Judy Havelock (a Bond girl) and Lord Havelock Vetinari (ruler of Ankh-Morpork in Terry Pratchett's Discworld). The name has also been applied to several places, often being named after someone bearing the name: Havelock Island in the Indian Ocean is named for Sir Henry Havelock, who served in India during the mid-1800s, for example. 2) A flap of cloth covering the back of the neck, attached to a hat, to protect against sunburn. Named after Sir Henry Havelock.
