Duguid Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Doget.' By its universal distribution (without prefix) this is manifestly a personal name. It is equally manifest that it is not one of the common diminutives in -et, as it would not be invariably so entered in the formal records below. I have no doubt it is the Domesday Thurgod, found early as Toged, now Toogood. In the same way Doget became Dogood.
Hugo Doged, 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.
Johannes Doget, 1379: ibid.
John Doget, Yorkshire, Henry III-Edward I: Testa de Nevill, sive Liber Feodorum, temp. Henry III-Edward I.
Alicia Doget, Cambridgeshire, 1273. Hundred Rolls.
John Doget, Oxfordshire, ibid.
John Doget, London, ibid.
John Doget, Somerset, 1 Edward III: Kirby's Quest.
William Doget, Somerset, 1 Edward III: ibid.
1557. Married — John Burchall and Katherine Doegood: St. Peter, Cornhill.
1657. — Benjamin Spooner and Agnes Doged: ibid.
Thus Dogood and Toogood are from the same parent; v. Thurgood. Since writing the above I have come across the following entries:
1651. Baptised — Ruth, d. Robert and Elizabeth Toogood: St. Thomas the Apostle (London).
1653. — Ralph, s. Robert and Elizabeth Doogood: ibid.
1577. Buried - Nicholas, sonne of John Docket: St. Peter, Cornhill, i. 12: 5.
A common Aberdeenshire surname. Robert Doget, messenger, carried letters of Edward I to various persons, 1304, and Master Adam Doghete was witness in St. Andrews, 1305 (Bain, IV, 482—484, 1807). John Doget, chaplain, 1343 (Metros, p. 457). John Dogude, who was bailie of Perth in 1379, as John Dugude departs for Pruycia (Prussia) in the king's service in 1382 (ER., III, p. 21, 99).

A family of this name were tenants of Ardmore, Udny, for over a century and a half (AEI., p. 103). John Dugwid was one of the Committee of Provisions for the Army, 1651 (SBR., p. 198), Mr. William Dowcat was portioner of Apletrieleaves, 1664 (RRM., II, p. 88), and Jerome Dugit was prosecuted for riot in 1678 (RPC., 3. ser. V, p. 340). Dogod 1365, Dogud 1541, Doucatt 1680, Dougatt 1613, Ducat 1603, Dugait 1544, Dugat 1669, Dugate 1546, Duged 1597, Dugeit 1597, Duget 1651, Duiged and Duiget 1633.
A Scotch form of the Anglo-Saxon pers. name Dogod [from Old English dugan, to be doughty; god, good]
