The history of the last name Hoggle

The surname "HOGGLE" is believed to have originated in England during the medieval period, with its roots tracing back to the Old English word "hoga," which meant "a hill or mound." This suggests that the name may have initially been used to identify individuals who resided near or on a prominent hillock or mound.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name "HOGGLE" can be found in the renowned Domesday Book, a comprehensive survey of landowners and properties commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. The entry mentions a certain "Hogel de Hoga," suggesting that the name was already in use by the late 11th century.

During the 13th century, the name appeared in various forms, such as "Hogel," "Hogill," and "Hoggill," reflecting the variations in spelling and pronunciation common in that era. These variations were often influenced by regional dialects and the scribes' interpretations of the name.

In the 14th century, records from Yorkshire mention a "John Hoggyll," who was a landowner in the village of Huddersfield. This provides evidence of the name's geographic spread and its association with land ownership during that time.

One notable individual bearing the name "HOGGLE" was Sir William Hoggill, a prominent English merchant and Member of Parliament who lived during the 16th century (circa 1520-1584). He was a successful trader and a influential figure in the city of London.

Another notable figure was John Hoggle (1578-1642), an English clergyman and writer who authored several religious texts and served as a rector in various parishes throughout his life.

In the 17th century, the name "HOGGLE" appeared in various parish records and legal documents, indicating its continued presence among English families. One such record mentions a "Thomas Hoggle" (1622-1693), who was a farmer and landowner in the county of Dorset.

During the 18th century, the name "HOGGLE" remained prevalent in England, with individuals such as Robert Hoggle (1712-1788), a successful merchant and philanthropist from Bristol, and Elizabeth Hoggle (1739-1812), a renowned author and poet from Lincolnshire.
