Goggin

In some cases it is a variant of the surname Coogan, and derived from the Irish Mac Cogadháin, meaning "son of Cogadhán".

The Irish Cogadhán is diminutive form of Cúchogaidh, derived from elements meaning "hound of war".

[1] In other cases, the surname Goggin is derived from the place name Cogan, which is in the diocese of Llandaff, in Glamorganshire, Wales.

Their proximity to the Norman court at Rouen and the de Cogans being part of the household of the Earl of Gloucester may hint to the same genesis.

The variety of leaf is variously given as "oak", by Fox-Davies; (1902)[3] "laurel" by Thomas Robson (The British Herald); "fig" by Rokewode, John Gage, History and Antiquities of Suffolk: Thingoe Hundred, 1838, pp.
