In 1166 Milo de Cogan, held two fees near Penarth (Glamorganshire) of William earl of Gloucester. Members of this Norman family probably account for the name's appearance in 13th-century Berwickshire. By this time the family was also present in Ireland, associated with counties Limerick and Cork. It may have been the Irish branch that later brought the name to southwest Scotland.
