Where did the English Fugler family come from? What is the English Fugler family crest and coat of arms? When did the Fugler family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Fugler family history? 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.A multitude of spelling variations characterize Norman surnames. Many variations occurred because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England also had a pronounced effect, as did the court languages of Latin and French. Therefore, one person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. The various spellings include Fulcher, Fulger, Fulker, Fucher, Fullager, Folker, Foucar, Foulger, Futcher, Folger, Fugler, Fuche, Fuge, Fuidge, Fudge, Foutch and many more. First found in Lincolnshire where they were granted lands by William the Conqueror for their assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The Fulchers were known as the Champions of Burgundy.
