Diggory

Diggory is a rare English male name derived from the surname. The name likely derives from Degaré, the name of a 14th century Arthurian poem written by an anonymous source, set in Brittany, and featuring the titular character as the son of a fairy knight and a princess. 

The origin of the name is uncertain. It may have been derived from French égaré (stray; astray; lost; misplace), perhaps in reference to the character being abandoned as a baby and his having to find his family when he gets older. 

Origin: uncertain

Meaning: uncertain, possibly from French égaré "stray; astray; lost; misplaced"
