Pigot (surname)

The Pigot Baronetcy is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain.

The name Pigot is derived from Picot.

The latter is recorded as a given name in the Domesday Book, but its origin is not clear.

William Camden suggested a derivation from Old French picote meaning pock-marked, freckled.
