The Norman Conquest of England of 1066 added many new elements to the already vibrant culture. Among these were thousands of new names. The Fugler name is derived from the Germanic personal name Fulcher. It is composed of the elements folk, which means people, and hari, which means army. Early Origins of the Fugler familyThe surname Fugler was first found in Lincolnshire and Derbyshire where they were granted lands about the time of William the Conqueror. Historically, the Fulchers were known as the Champions of Burgundy and records were found of the name spelt Fulchere in Normandy (1180-1195). 1 The name could have also been derived from the Ango-Saxon word "folgere", in other words a follower, an attendant, a free-man who did not have a house of his own. 2 Early History of the Fugler familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Fugler research.
