The gudgeon Surname
gudgeon Name Meaning and History
English: from Middle English gojon, gogen, Old French
gougon ‘gudgeon’ (the fish) (Latin gobio, genitive
gobionis), applied as a nickname or perhaps as a metonymic
occupational name for a seller of these fish. The gudgeon is
considered easy to catch, so the nickname may have denoted a gullible
person.
