Pockson Surname Definition:
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Margaret' Pog was the earlier form of Peg, as Mog was of Meg.

Why names in 'M' should take 'P' for their initial in the nick, form I cannot say; compare Patty from Martha, and Polly from Mary, the intermediate form being Matty and Molly.
