The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Abraham Egge, which was dated 1582, christened at St. Andrew Undershaft Church, London, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, 'Good Queen Bess', 1558 - 1603. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
