Dictionary of Family Names

Origin and Etymology of the Surname ANGUISH.

From A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames, by C. W. E. Bardsley, A. Bardsley, 1901.

 

ANGUISH.   A local name meaning "of Angus," N.B.   Although most of the instances occur in co. Norfolk, it will be seen that they are of comparatively modern date.   They represent an immigration from the north.   There can be no doubt about the origin.   It is simply imitative, as was the custom in spelling or even pronouncing surnames.
