Vaughan Family History
Vaughan Genealogy & Family TreeVaughan is a Welsh name from Shropshire, England, where they descended from the Earl of Hereford and Lord of Maylors. It comes from the Welsh word vychan which means "small" but may have been used ironically for someone who was tall; alternately, it may have been used to distinguish the younger of two people bearing the same given name. The earliest known ancestor--Grifit Vehan--was recorded in 1222. The family motto is Non revertar inultus which means "I will not return unrevenged."
Other spellings include "Vaughn." Notable people with the surname include American football player Pug Vaughan (Detroit Lions, Chicago Cardinals), American actor Greg Vaughan (Charmed, General Hospital, Days of Our Lives), and British actor Peter Vaughan (Remains of the Day, An Ideal Husband, Game of Thrones). The first Vaughan to come to America was George Vaughan in Maine in 1629.
