England Etymology of DuguidWhat does the name Duguid mean? Duguid was first used as a surname among the descendants of the ancient Scottish people known as the Picts. It was a name for a well-meaning person or "do-gooder." 1 Further down in England, the name was "derived from the name of an ancestor, 'the son of Doget'" 2 and has been traditionally "an old London name." 3 Early Origins of the Duguid familyThe surname Duguid was first found in Aberdeenshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Obar Dheathain), a historic county, and present day Council Area of Aberdeen, located in the Grampian region of northeastern Scotland. One of the first records of the family was "Robert Doget, messenger, carried letters of Edward I to various persons, 1304, and Master Adam Doghete was witness in St. Andrews, 1305. John Doget, chaplain, 1343. John Dogude, who was bailie of Perth in 1379, as John Dugude departs for Pruycia (Prussia) in the king's service in 1382. The name is found in Dundee in 1470." 4 In England, early rolls there showed Alicia Doget, Cambridgeshire; John Doget, Oxfordshire; and John Doget, London, all in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273. Hugo Doged and Johannes Doget were listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379. 2 In Somerset, early records there revealed John Doget and William Doget, Somerset, 1 Edward III (during the first year of the reign of King Edward III.) 5 Early History of the Duguid familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Duguid research.

| Duguid migration to the United States | + |
Many Scottish families suffered enormous hardships and were compelled to leave their country of birth. They traveled to Ireland and Australia, but mostly to the colonies of North America, where many found the freedom and opportunity they sought. It was not without a fight, though, as many were forced to stand up and defend their freedom in the American War of Independence. The ancestors of these Scots abroad have rediscovered their heritage in the last century through the Clan societies and other organizations that have sprung up across North America.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Patientia et spe
Motto Translation: With patience and hope.
