Giggs Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Gegges,' a spot seemingly in the parish of Filby, Norfolk. The surname is strictly a Norfolk one, and has existed there for many centuries.
'Matthew de Salle granted Gegges part in trust to William de Frisseby, rector of Filby, 1412, and Edmund Norman, son of John, died lord in 7444': History of Norfolk.
Isabel Gegges, Norfolk, 1402: History of Norfolk.
John Geggs, Norfolk, 10 Henry VI: ibid.
Richard Geggh, Norfolk, 1448: ibid.
Richard Gegge, of Saham, Norfolk, 1367. ibid.
Willelmus Gegge, 1370: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.
'Here resteth expectinge the second cominge of our Saviour Jesus Christ, the Body of Margaret Gedge, wife of Robert Gedge ... buried the 24th of July, 1619... . Also John Gedge, father of the said Robert, was buried 24 Nov. 1621, aged 87': History of Norfolk.
It is thus clear that Gegges or Giggs (it is also found in this latter form in the History of the county) became Gedge between 1450 and 1600. The form Geggh above (1448) seems to point to the departure.
Gedge has been a Norwich name for centuries; and at the present day it still finds its home in this city and its vicinity. There was a fuller of this name buried in one of the Norwich churches in 1467; William Gedge was a philanthropic Norwich citizen in 1693; and Ambrose Gedge was a common councillor of the city in 1742 (Bl.). Three centuries ago there was a family of Gedge in Denton (Bl.).
