 England The name Agg reached English shores for the first time with the ancestors of the Agg family as they migrated following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Agg family lived in Oxfordshire.

Agg Spelling VariationsAnglo-Norman names tend to be marked by an enormous number of spelling variations. This is largely due to the fact that Old and Middle English lacked any spelling rules when Norman French was introduced in the 11th century. The languages of the English courts at that time were French and Latin. These various languages mixed quite freely in the evolving social milieu. The final element of this mix is that medieval scribes spelled words according to their sounds rather than any definite rules, so a name was often spelled in as many different ways as the number of documents it appeared in. The name was spelled Agg, Agge, Aug, Auge and others. Early Notables of the Agg familyOutstanding amongst the family at this time was

Some of the first North American settlers with Agg name or one of its variants:
