EnglandThe name Baggie is part of the ancient legacy of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. Baggie was a name used for a person who was a peddler, or great traveler. It denotes one who on his travels carried a bag, a pack or a bundle.
The surname Baggie was first found in Norfolk, at Gaywood, a parish, in the union and hundred of Freebridge-Lynn. "Gaywood Hall, the seat of Richard Bagge, Esq., occupies the site of a palace erected by John Grey, Bishop of Norwich; and part of the moat by which the old building was surrounded is still remaining."

Until the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Baggie include Bagg, Bag, Bagge, Beag, Baigg, Baggey, Baggy and many more.

Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time. Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Baggie were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records: Bert Bagg settled in New York State in 1664.
