The ancient name of Hogar finds its origins with the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It comes from a name for a keeper of cattle and pigs. The surname Hogar originally derived from the Old English words "hogg" + "hierde." 1 Early Origins of the Hogar familyThe surname Hogar was first found in Northumberland where William Hoggehird was listed in the Assize Rolls of 1279.

For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, the Canadas, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Hogar surname or a spelling variation of the name include :

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.

Motto: Candor dat viribus alas
Motto Translation: Truth gives wings to strength.
