Gough
Gough is a surname. The surname probably derives from the Welsh coch (English: ‘red’),[1] given as a nickname to someone with red hair or a red complexion or as a reduced form of the Irish McGough which itself is an Anglicized form of Gaelic Mag Eochadha, a patronymic from the personal name Eochaidh (variant Eachaidh), ‘horseman’, both derivatives of ‘horse’. .
