1836 · Remember the Alamo

Being a monumental event in the Texas Revolution, The Battle of the Alamo was a thirteen-day battle at the Alamo Mission near San Antonio. In the early morning of the final battle, the Mexican Army advanced on the Alamo. Quickly being overrun, the Texian Soldiers quickly withdrew inside the building. The battle has often been overshadowed by events from the Mexican–American War, But the Alamo gradually became known as a national battle site and later named an official Texas State Shrine.

Name Meaning

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.

Scottish: variant of Boe 5.
