Origins of the Boggs surname:

The name BOGGS was originated around 1460 from the Gaelic name Bog,  and referred to people that lived in or near the Bogs or low lands.

Tradition has it that a Clan of Livingstones were overpowered by another clan and retreated to the Bogs and took up homes there.  They were referred to as the Livingstones of the Bogs.  As time went on, the name Livingstones was dropped and they became known as the Boggs.
