Knagg Family History

From the Middle English personal name Knag, the term is rooted in Old Danish and Old Swedish, where it is also represented as Knag.

This name possibly served as a nickname, drawing a comparison with similar terms in Danish and Swedish.

In Danish, the word knag translates to ‘knot,’ while in Swedish, knagg means ‘peg.’

Both definitions refer to a small, protruding piece of wood, such as the stump of a branch.

These linguistic connections highlight the historical and cultural interplay in naming conventions across these languages.
