(The Sprague Line).
Sprague is the Anglicized form of the foreign name Sprak (or Sparke), believed by some authorities to have been derived from a word meaning quick, nimble, lively, or active, akin to the word sprightly, and by others to be derived from the Dutch word Spraak, meaning speech or language. There are innumer- able variations in the spelling of this patronymic, some of the more common forms being Sprake, Spraket, Sprack, Sprage, and Spragg.
