What the name means

The meaning of the Ogle surname

As an English and Welsh surname

Bardsley classes it as a baptismal name, from a given name: ‘the son of Ogle’.

An early record he cites: Robertus Ogill, 1379 — Poll Tax, West Riding of Yorkshire.

From Charles W. Bardsley, A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames, with Special American Instances (London: Henry Frowde, 1901), p. 567 · public domain.

In Ireland’s birth registers, 1890

Ireland registered 6 births for the Ogle name in 1890.

Most were registered in Ulster. By the Registrar-General’s own method — births multiplied by 44.38 — that is about 300 people bearing the name in Ireland at the time.

Too few records to say where it concentrates region by region — these are plain counts, not shares.
