PIGOT. PIGOTT. O. Fr. picote, the small-pox; plcofe, pock-marked or freckled. This is Camden's derivation, and I can find none that is less objectionable, for this widely diffused and very ancient name, to which our heraldric dictionaries assign above thirty different coats. The Pigotts of Edgmond, CO. Salop, sprang from Prestbury, co. Chester, in the XIV. century.
