Uglow Family History

Uglow Name Meaning

English (Devon and Cornwall): possibly a habitational name from an English-language placename ending in hlǣw ‘mound’ with an Old English personal name as its first element as in the placenames Ugborough and Ugbrook (both Devon). However no suitable place with such a name has been identified. Attempts to give this surname a Cornish-language etymology are also untenable.
