Egg Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. Probably 'at the egg,' from residence thereby. Egg seems to be a hard form of Edge, which see, compare Bridge and Brigg.
The hard form of Edge, q.v.
Probably a hardened pronunciation of the Anglo-Saxon ecg, an edge. See Edge. De Egge, H.R., co. Salop.
From Old German ecke, the edge or point of a weapon, &c. (acies, cuspis); Old Norse egg, an edge, sword, war, battle; Anglo-Saxon ecg, an edge, or sharpness applied to the mind, also quickness, ability. There is however a De Egge in H.R., co. Salop; and the name may therefore be the same as Hedge, Hague, Haig, Haigh (Haigh, a township of Lancashire); from Anglo-Saxon hœg, French haie, a hedge, and that which it encloses, a field or park.
