Hughe is a name of Norman origin, derived from the Germanic name Hugubert, which consists of the elements 'hug', meaning heart, and 'bald', meaning bold or brave. It was introduced into England by the Normans after the 1066 conquest and was initially more common as Hugelin. Over time, it evolved into Hughe, a name that has been used steadily but not widely throughout history.
The name Hughe was quite popular in 1919 with five births recorded that year. However, it has since declined in popularity as there are no records of any births with this name from then until now.
