Ligon Family History
Ligon Name Meaning
English: variant of Lygon, name of an aristocratic
English family said to be of Norman origin. The name is of unknown
etymology. According to Morlet it is a variant of L’Higon, a
patronymic from Higon, a southern French variant of
Hugo. This seems rather doubtful.Polish (also
Ligon): nickname from a derivative of Old Polish
ligac ‘to lie’ or ‘to kick up a fuss’.
