Where did the Scottish Boggs family come from? What is the Scottish Boggs family crest and coat of arms? When did the Boggs family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Boggs family history?
In the Middle Ages, the first family to use the Boggs surname took the name from a place name with Viking roots. They lived in a place noted for the presence of a ridge that formed a boundary between two distinct areas. It comes from a variant of the word boak or balk, of the same meaning. While historians generally agree upon the aforementioned topographical derivation, most believe that this name actually came from the area called Boak in the parish of Kirkholm.
