Heraldry and the Bigges Surname

Genealogists group Bigges with Biggs.

Name scholars give the meaning as “Big, strong man”. Bigges adds “e” to Biggs, a small change that crept in as the name was written down. Before spelling was standardised, one family could appear under several forms. The same family of names includes Bigg.
