Edgoose Family History

Edgoose Surname Meaning

From the Middle English female personal name Edcus, a pet form of names beginning in Ed- (from Old English ēad ‘prosperity’), especially Edith, using the hypocoristic suffix -cus. Edecusa, wife of Jonkin messor (‘hayward’), listed as a brewer in 1313 in the Dyffryn Clwyd Court Rolls (Denbighs), is probably the same woman as Edith, wife of John Haiward, named as a landholder in the following year.

While Edcus de Wendlok (1342) is named as Edith de Wenlok (1344) in the same records, this pet form is recorded sporadically across medieval England. The modern surname originated in Lincs.
