Daggett Origin and Meaning

The name Daggett is a boy's name.

Daggett is a masculine name that originated as an English surname derived from the Middle English personal name 'Dag' or 'Dagg,' with the diminutive suffix '-ett.' The root 'dag' may come from Old Norse meaning 'day' or could relate to a medieval nickname for a person who was 'daggy' (dew-covered). As a first name, Daggett is extremely rare and unconventional. It has a rugged, distinctive quality that might appeal to parents seeking unique surname-inspired first names. The name carries a somewhat rustic, frontier feel reminiscent of American historical surnames. While never popular as a first name, Daggett may appeal to those drawn to uncommon names with strong consonant sounds and historical connections.
