De Nógla

de NÓGLA—XI—de Nangle, de Nongle, de Nougle, Nogle, Nangle, Nagle, Neagle, etc.; Middle English 'atten Angle,' 'atte Nangle,' Latin 'de Angulo,' i.e., at the angle or corner, from residence thereat; the n of the article was attracted over, as in the case of de Nais (which see), and thus became the initial of the surname proper. The Nangles or Nagles derive their descent from Gilbert de Angulo, one of the earliest of the Anglo-Norman invaders. They obtained large grants of land in Meath, and were barons of Navan. Branches of the family settled in Westmeath, Kildare, Waterford and Cork. In Munster the name is now always Englished Nagle or Neagle.
