Waggott Vad efternamn betyder
variant of Wackett with voicing of medial /k/ to /g/.an alternative possibility in NE England is an unrecorded Middle English word *wagge-hed from Middle English waggen ‘to wag’ + he(ve)d ‘head’; waggen with the hed meant ‘to nod; also nod in a coquettish or provocative manner’ MED . Absence of any known medieval bearers of the name is a difficulty but Thomas Waghepol 1219 in Curia Regis Rolls and Rogerus Waghpoll' 1379 in Poll Tax (Roud Hants) may provide evidence of a comparable name if these are for ‘wag poll (head)’ and not for ‘wag pole’.
