HUGO (English [Cornwall]) Variation of HUGH, from the Old French personal name "Hu(gh)e", introduced into Britain by the Normans. The origin is a short form of any Germanic name with the first element "hug" (heart, mind, spirit). In Scotland and Ireland the name has been widely used as an equivalent of Celtic "Aodh" (fire). ---Source: A Dictionary of Surnames by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges. SMIGERSKI ?
