Looking to translate the surname "Fogg" into Irish. Any ideas?
Names usually aren't translated per se although there are cases of it, like a friend of mine whose surname "Fisher" was transmogrified into "Iascaire" by his Irish teacher. Also, many surnames of Norman and other origin have been changed to fit Irish orthography and pronunciation like Burke becoming de Búrca, or Baggot becoming Bagóid. Fogg apparently comes from Norse "fogge" and there are variants, possibly some of them being Gaelicised at one point or another. Here's one explanation of the name:
https://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=fogg Also, this page explains it as being of Norman origin:
https://www.4crests.com/fogg-coat-of-arms.html I can't vouch for the accuracy of the information given on those two sites and I have no other resources at hand right now, so it would be difficult for me to give a Gaelicised version of the name.
Wait for more input from other members of the forum.
