According to 'A Glossary of North Country Words' (1846), 'click' is to snatch hastily or seize. However, there is a Scottish poem where the phrase relates merely to bringing in the cows. A quick search shows similar place-names: Clickhimin (Shetland, Image), Clickhimin and Clickimin (Orkney, Image), Clickemin (Cornsay, Co. Durham) Image, Clickham (East Yorks.), Clickemin (Ponteland, Image) Image, Click'em Hut (Killington, S. Lakes), Cleekhimin (near River Tweed at Horncliffe; N. Lanarkshire Image, burn and bridge in Scottish Borders Image) along with many Clicks. 'Clickem Inn', with two n's, has also been used as a pub name, perhaps from previous use as a lock-up, or lock-in.
