Wiggat Coat of Arms

The surname Wiggat, of Irish descent, can be traced back to ancient times. The name originated from the Gaelic word "Uigheach," meaning "descendant of Uigheach." Uigheach itself was a personal name derived from the word "uighe," which meant "terror" or "fear." During the medieval period in Ireland, surnames began to be adopted as a way to identify and distinguish individuals within a clan or family. The use of surnames became more common as society became more organized. The Wiggat family likely emerged as a distinct clan during this period, with members taking on the surname to reflect their ancestry and heritage. Over time, the surname Wiggat may have undergone variations in spelling and pronunciation, resulting in different forms of the name. It is worth noting that the spelling of Irish surnames often varied due to factors such as illiteracy and the influence of English-speaking officials during the British colonization of Ireland. As a result, variations of the Wiggat surname, such as Wiggatt or Wiggot, may be found in different records and documents. Today, individuals with the surname Wiggat can still be found among the Irish diaspora and may have migrated to various parts of the world, carrying their Irish heritage with them.
