Herts Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
The singular Herts name of Pigg is evidently of the same origin as Peck, an ancient east country name, which is represented by Pick in Lincolnshire and Pigg in Herts. In the 13th century, Peck, Pick or Picke, Pik, Peke, Peeke, Pig or Pigge, were frequent names, especially in the east of England. Under the Pecks and the Peeks of Cambridgeshire, I have referred to all these varieties, excepting the last. In the 13th century, Pig was a Berkshire and a Norfolk name, and Pigge occurred in Northamptonshire (H. R.). I regard all the varieties enumerated above, from Peck to Pigg, as east - country abbreviations of Piggott or Pigott, itself a form of Picot or Pikot, an ancient personal name, which, according to Lower, was represented in Cambridgeshire and Hants in Domesday times, and which existed as a surname in later times. With regard to Pigg, it is very noticeable that it is established in a county like Herts, which has been a home of the Piggotts for many centuries. It is also remarkable that in the 13th and 14th centuries the names of Pik, Pick, and Pigot, were associated in Shropshire (H. R. and L.). Pigg is also a Northumberland name, especially characteristic, I believe, of the vale of the North Tyne.
