Steggall Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(Scandinavian) Dweller at (apparently) the Steg-Slope [Dialectal English and Scot. steg, (1) a gander, (2) a stag; Old Norse steggi, a male bird + Old Norse hall-r, a slope]

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

Mr. Ferguson remarks: As deer originally meant any wild animal, so stag seems to have meant the male of any animal, from Old Noise steggr, ' the male of various beasts and birds.' Hence stag in the North of England signifies a young horse, [in the South, a boar,] and Meg, a gander. The terms seem to have been applied respectively to the deer and the stag par excellence. Steggall seems to be a diminutive of stag."

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

From the Old Norse, Stag-näl; nickname from the Swedish, Stagnell; from the German, Steckel, Steg, Steigler, Stiegler; from the Danish, Stage, Stege; from the Dutch, Steege, Stechel, Stiggel; a personal name.
