Duggie

Duggie is a masculine name primarily used as an affectionate diminutive of Douglas. With Scottish origins, the parent name Douglas derives from the Gaelic elements 'dubh' meaning 'dark' and 'glas' meaning 'stream' or 'rivulet.' Duggie emerged as a playful, friendly nickname that has occasionally been used as a given name in its own right, particularly in the UK. It carries a cheerful, approachable quality while maintaining its Scottish heritage. The name peaked in popularity during the mid-20th century but has become less common in recent decades. Duggie has an endearing, unpretentious character that conveys warmth and informality.

Pronounced DUG-ee.
