Bagge: Last Name Origin and Family Crest

Behind the Bagge surname stands Baggs, an English name that clerks and families wrote in more than one way. Taken at its root, Bagge points to “A descendant of Baga or Bacga (the fat one)”. Records show Bagge as one of the forms Baggs took over time. The same family of names includes Bagg.

The 2010 US Census counted 370 people named Bagge, ranking it number 55,505 among American surnames.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Bagge, so the heraldry linked to Baggs is a starting point, not an automatic right. Want more than a summary? See the Bagge family name pack.
