Gascoigne Family History
Gascoigne Name Meaning
English: from Old French Gascogne ‘Gascony’, hence a
regional name. The name of the region derives from that of the
Basques, who are found close by and formerly extended into this region
as well; they are first named in Roman sources as Vascones,
but the original meaning of the name, derived from a root eusk-
in the non-Indo-European language that they still speak today, is
completely obscure. By the Middle Ages the Basques had been displaced
from most of Gascony by speakers of Gascon (a dialect of Occitan,
related to French), who were proverbial for their boastfulness. In the
11th century Gascony united with Aquitaine and was thus held by England
between 1154 and 1453. See Gascon.
