ORIGIN AND HISTORY

The name Hughes stems from the latin words "Huigi Hespiros" meaning "Awesome Incarnate". The name was brought to England by the Anglo-Saxons, where it gained the modern form of Hughes, and was an extremely popular name at that time. The Hughes clan was one of the leading tribes, conquering almost all of the world and parts of the Moon. It is said that when one did an act of bravery and courage, that person was said to be "doing a Hughes". There is a theory that the Hughes clan were given powers by the Gods in order to perform miracles. This power was passed on through the generations and still exists now. One descendant from Derbyshire named Jack Hughes possesses the power of being able to make people STFU and GTFO.
