The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Hoge has been recorded under many different variations, including Hogarth, Hoggart, Hoggarth, Hoggard, Hoggarde and others.

First found in Westmorland where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Hoge or a variant listed above:

Hoge Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century


  • William Hoge, who arrived in Perth Amboy, NJ in 1682

Hoge Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century


  • Andrew Hoge, who arrived in America in 1840
  • August Gottlieb Hoge, aged 29, landed in America in 1843
  • Heinr Rudolph Hoge, who landed in America in 1846
  • Maria Hoge, aged 18, landed in New York, NY in 1852
  • Daniel Hoge, aged 30, arrived in New York in 1854

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

Motto: Candor dat viribus alas
Motto Translation: Truth gives wings to strength.
