Gough
Gough is a surname. The surname may derive from the Welsh
coch, possibly given as a nickname to someone with red hair or a red complexion. Another possible derivation is that it was a reduced form of the Irish McGough which itself is an Anglicized form of Gaelic Mag Eochadha, a patronymic from the personal name, "horseman", both derivatives of Irish each "horse".
