About Dougie
Scottish (Gaelic) in origin, Dougie is a diminutive of the name Douglas, derived from the roots "DUBH GHLAS" and "DUBH GALL." These roots translate to "black water," giving the name its distinct meaning.
In the United States, Dougie is a rarely used name, with neither it nor its short form Doug being recorded as a popular choice in recent years. However, in England and Wales, Dougie has gained considerable popularity as a nickname-name, ranking at Number 315. This marked contrast highlights the significant differences in naming trends between the two countries.
