The Goff surname in historical dictionaries
Patronymica Britannica (1860)
GOFF. GOFFE. See Gough. When not a corruption of Gough, it is said to signify in the Armoricau dialect " the smith." In the Cornish, Angove has the same meaning, while Trengrove is "strong smith." Queingoff is another Armorican surname meanhig " whitesmith," according to the conjecture of Mr. Dixon. These are all, of course, allied to Gow.
