Name Meaning

Altered form of English Hogwood , or of Hawkwood, a habitational name from a minor place called as ‘the hawk wood’ (Old English hafoc + wudu), e.g. Hawkwoods in Sible Hedingham or Hawkwood's Farm in Gosfield (both Essex). This surname is common in the South, notably in GA, TX, and AL. It is very common among African Americans. Compare Hagood , Haigwood , and Haywood .

History: The majority of the Haygoods trace their origin to Francis Hogwood or Hawkwood, who arrived in VA from England in or before 1650. The surname in the form Haygood was apparently first borne by one of his grandsons (or, according to some sources, his son; see Hagood ).
