— A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

The surname Dag has been derived from Teutonic, dæg, day. The Dags of Cornwall may have their name from Cornish dag, "some one" —perhaps some one of importance, from Gr. ταγος, a leader, commander, a chief, a ruler (Thessalian tagus). D. Gilbert says, "Killiganeen in St. Feock, after Mr. Hussey's decease, passed into the hands of Mr. Dagge: two brothers of that name went to London from Bodmin to seek their fortunes; one of whom became the manager of Covent Garden Theatre; the other pursued the law, to which both were probably educated, and ultimately retired to Killiganeen, which has since become the property of Admiral Spry." Dagworthy is a surname.

— Patronymica Cornu-Britannica (1870) by Richard Stephen Charnock

(Dutch.) The same as Day—the time between the rising and setting sun; a dagger, a hand—gun, a pistol; a sign over a shop or inn.

— An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names (1857) by William Arthur

Dagge and Deeble are old Cornish names now scantily represented in the county. The Dagges were well known in Bodmin in the 17th century, when four of the mayors bore the name (M.). In the 17th century the Deebles of Quethiock and the Debells of Longco, near Looe, two numerous families, joined the Society of Friends (A.).
