Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Buadhaigh ‘descendant of Buadhach’, a personal name meaning ‘victorious’. The final fricative has been delenited in Bogue, the southern (Cork) Anglicized form of the surname. (The ancient British name Boudicca or Boadicea, borne by the Queen of the Iceni who in AD 62 led a revolt against the Roman occupation of her country, is a cognate.)
Scottish: habitational name from Bogue in the parish of Minnigaff (Kirkcudbrightshire). The name is now common in Ulster.
