Fogg Family History
Fogg Name Meaning
Northern English: from Middle English fogge ‘aftermath’,
i.e. grass left to grow after the hay has been cut, also applied to
long grass in a water meadow. The surname arose from either a
topographic name or a metonymic occupational name for someone who
grazed cattle on such grass in the winter. The vocabulary word, which
is probably of Old Norse origin, is still in use as a dialect term in
Craven, Yorkshire, and in eastern Lancashire. Modern English
fog ‘thick mist’ is first attested in the 16th century and is
unlikely to be the source for a surname.
