WIGGINS Family History
This Olde English name has two possible derivations, the first being from the Breton personal name "Wincon" or "Uuicon" which was introduced into England by the Normans after the Conquest of 1066. The name means "worthy" and "high", or "noble". The second origin is from another personal name, this time of Germanic origin and also introduced by the Normans, "Wigant", meaning "Warrior", from the verb "Wigan", to fight. The personal name is first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Wighen" and in 1163 as "Wigein". The surname development has included "Wygen" (1297, Cornwall) and "Wiggans" or "Wiggins (1752, Yorkshire)...Select Audience

Homer Wiggins
My name is Homer Wiggins. I love doing geneaology and have traced my family back to my ancestor Thomas Wiggins who came from England to the Virginia colonies in the 1600s.
My family later moved to North Carolina then to Alabama where I was born and raised. Im back full circle in Virginia where I now reside.
Would love to find out where in England my ancestor came from when he boarded a ship called Primrose to Barbados then to Virginia.
