Etymology of BogginWhat does the name Boggin mean? The name Boggin claims Normandy, France as their original homestead. It is here that "Herebertus Bogin occurs in Normandy [in] 1180," according to the Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae. 1 Landing in England, sometime after the Conquest, the family had a wide variety of spellings in use at that time.

To escape the uncertainty of the political and religious uncertainty found in England, many English families boarded ships at great expense to sail for the colonies held by Britain. The passages were expensive, though, and the boats were unsafe, overcrowded, and ridden with disease. Those who were hardy and lucky enough to make the passage intact were rewarded with land, opportunity, and social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families went on to be important contributors to the young nations of Canada and the United States where they settled. Boggins were some of the first of the immigrants to arrive in North America:
