Budgett
Budgett is a surname. According to Reaney, Budgett is cognate with Burchard and similar names. However it is not obvious how "Burg" would transform to "Budg". There is a verbal tradition in the family that they migrated from France and that the name originates from the French word "bougette". "Bougette", the diminutive of "bouge", means a small leather bag, pouch or wallet and is in fact the origin of the ordinary English and French word "budget". The Parish Register at Nunney in Somerset begins in 1547 and shows the surname "Budget" (in various spellings) from 1550 onwards. This seems  to be the first appearance of the name in England. The "Budgett" spelling is rare at Nunney until the Nineteenth Century. Most migrants from France to England were Protestants (known as Huguenots) fleeing persecution. There doesn't seem to be any written confirmation that the first English "Budgets" were Protestant French fugitives but it is a reasonable theory. People with the surname Budgett include:
