![]() ![]() In conclusion to find the answer to "Why" It would be my judgment that Shuggy or Shuggie may have been changed from Hughie simply because of the Scottish dialect when pronouncing words. I couldn't post more than 2 links at my current reputation. ![]() The following words can be added to the end of that web address to view each pages information for citation. Allthough it's my opinion that "fire" could be in perspective relation to the meanings and ideas of heart, mind, spirit, which may also be a valid perception of the mythology. What i found interesting in the above message is not only is the name possibly quite old in history but it seems that the Scottish/Irish interpreted the name as a very Masculine name that would be viewed in relation to the names AODH (meaning "Fire" and relating to numerous figures in Irish mythology) and Ùisdean (meaning:Scottish Gaelic form of the Old Norse name EYSTEINN.) which seems to be much different from the Germanic perspective meaning heart, mind and spirit. The name is used in Ireland and Scotland as the Anglicized form of Aodh and Ùisdean. This was also the name of kings of Cyprus and the crusader kingdom of Jerusalem. The Normans brought the name to England and it became common there, even more so after the time of the 12th-century bishop Saint Hugh of Lincoln, who was known for his charity. It was common among Frankish and French nobility, being borne by Hugh Capet, a 10th-century king of France who founded the Capetian dynasty. "From the Germanic element hug, meaning "heart, mind, spirit". With those details noted here are some things i found interesting that might not have been listed. As previous commenters suggested the way things are spelled or pronounced in a culture could have been reasons for the why it was changed the way it was to become that cultures choice of diminutive. Diminutive in my understanding means to make something smaller or in my perspective simpler. The variations of these names are considered diminutives as well. My goal was to possibly be able to find an answer to the "why" by looking through some history information and also looking into the Scottish interpretations and adoption of the name.Īs people/commenters have already stated Shuggie, Shuggy, Shug etc is the Scottish diminutive of the Germanic name Hughie, Hugh, Hewie, Hugo, Huey etc. I'm a simple guy so I looked into some history to possibly offer something interesting to supplement the answers you have received. Some of the commenters offered some very good points and information as an answer. You wanted to know "why" something is pronounced or spelled and used differently for the same name in the Scottish culture. I went ahead and posted this answer as a supporting post in hopes of adding to the answer and entertaining my journey in the attempt of finding the answer to the question. I did however do some research of my own to try and offer another perspective on the reasoning. I am not an expert on language, names, or cultures.
