When the French emigrants were boarding their ships in Brest and Le Havre, the English captains were experiencing some difficulty in writing their passenger manifests, due to their ignorance of the language and dialects. This resulted in some names being recorded as the English language name or word nearest the sound of what they heard, and it would appear that in this instance some alteration occurred. It could not have been too great a step from Du Gour, Dugourd, or Dugour to Dugger. The locative origin is revealed by translating the ancient French term "gourg", (deep hole full of water), and referring to one who lived near to such a feature. Alternatively there may have also been the patronymic origin deriving from " gourd", and denoting "son of Gourdon", from the Gallo-Roman personal name "Gordus, Gordonis"
Among early written references to the name or a variant form we read of the family Goures, from Brittany, ennobled in the sixteenth century, and reconfirmed in 1669. The family (du) Gour de Chaillouvres ramified in the Bresse region of Eastern France, under the rule of the House of Savoy from 1272 until ceded to Henry IV in 1601. Gourdon was established in Poilu, ennobled there in 1703, and in Quercy-Bretagne as De Gourdon de Genoulliac et De Las Bordes. The name De Gourdon existed in Niverais from the year 1675, when one Philippe Gourdon lived and died in 1710, leaving Jean Baptiste Gourdon as his heir and the progenitor of a line which runs up to the Nineteenth century in available records. References to the introduction of the name or a variant form into America include those to the arrival in New York of one Conrad Duggert on the steamer "Samoset" from Le Havre in December 1853.
