    Name Meaning

    English (London): perhaps a habitational name, but no place of this name is known in Britain. The proposed etymology from an Old English personal name, Higbert, is equally doubtful.

    History: The name was brought to North America in the 1640s from Ivinghoe in Buckinghamshire, England.
