The proud and noble surname of Hughes originated from the Old French language given name Hughe, or Hue. The Norman Invasion of 1066 A.D. brought this popular surname to Britain, where it is first found in Carmarthenshire, in South West Wales.

Unofficially, there are over 270,000 persons currently living in the U.S. that are using the surname of Hughes. Statistically, it is the 83rd most popular surname in America.
