The old Scottish-Dalriadan name Pagon is derived from the personal name Payne. Pagon is a patronymic surname, which belongs to the category of hereditary surnames. Although this interpretation of the etymology of the surname Pagon is uncertain, it is generally accepted at the present time.
The surname Pagon was first found in Yorkshire, where they held a family seat from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.
