Etymology edit
From Middle Low German Lǖbēke, from Polabian Liubice (literally “lovely”) (compare Slovak Ľubica (personal name)), from Proto-Slavic *ľubь (“love”), from Proto-Indo-European *lewbʰ- (“to love”). The latter part of the name was altered after the common Low German placename suffix + -beck, from Middle Low German bēke (“brook”), from Proto-Germanic *bakiz, whence also German Bach.
