The skaggs Surname
skaggs Name Meaning and History
English: probably a variant of Skegg, which Reaney and
Wilson describe as a nickname from Old Norse skegg ‘beard’;
curiously, though, the modern surname occurs chiefly in Hertfordshire,
with very little evidence of it in the north, where it might be
expected to be concentrated.
