Etymology of DoogeWhat does the name Dooge mean? In Scottish history, few names go farther back than Dooge, whose ancestors lived among the clans of the Pictish tribe. They lived in the Kilmadok district of Scotland. The Scottish Dooge surname is derived from the Gaelic Mac Gille Doig, which means "son of the servant of St. Cadog." The personal name Cadog was Welsh, and has no connection to the name of the animal. Early Origins of the Dooge familyThe surname Dooge was first found in Perthshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Pheairt) former county in the present day Council Area of Perth and Kinross, located in central Scotland, where they held a family seat from early times.

Dooge Spelling VariationsThe arts of spelling and translation were yet in their infancies when surnames began, so there are an enormous number of spelling variations of the names in early Scottish records. This is a particular problem with Scottish names because of the numerous times a name might have been loosely translated to English from Gaelic and back. Dooge has been spelled Doig, Dog, Doeg, Doige, Doag, Doak, Doake, Doack and others.
