The Anglo-Saxons of Britain first developed the name Huger. It was a name given to someone who was a keeper of cattle and pigs. The surname Huger originally derived from the Old English words "hogg" + "hierde." 1 Early Origins of the Huger familyThe surname Huger was first found in Northumberland where William Hoggehird was listed in the Assize Rolls of 1279. A few years later, Richard le Hoghird was listed in the Subsidy Rolls for Yorkshire in 1327 and much later, John Hoggard was listed in Yorkshire in 1461. 2 Willelmus Hoghyrd was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379. 1 Early History of the Huger familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Huger research.

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.
