Hodgins Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Roger,' from nick. Hodge and diminutive Hodg-in; compare Col-in, Collins, Collings, from Nicholas. The final 'g' in Hodgings is excrescent, as in Jennings or Collings.
Hodgin’s (Son)
(English) The son of little Hodge, a pet form of Roger (fame, spear).
User-submitted Reference
Dates back to 1604 with the arrival in the US of Nicholas Hodsdon, who also spelt his name Hodgdon (or his name was spelt by another as Hodgdon), possibly reflecting pronunciation at the time. Origin is questionable due to extreme age of the name and its roots (Hodsdon/Hodgdon) in Anglo-Saxon Northumbria and possible sound changes in the development of the English language from the time of the Danelaw and subsequent Norman Conquest to the present time. Possible origin is from Saxon Hrodgarsson, meaning 'son of fame-spear', corrupted to Hrothgarsson (son of truth spear), eventually becoming Hodgesson or Hodgedon (Hodge's Hill, Hodge being an alternate form of a dimunutive of Roger, the name that Hrodgar developed into). Again, due to age, most of this is speculation based on patterns of regular sound change in the English language.
