'''Gough''' ({{IPAc-en|ɡ|ɒ|f}} {{respell|GOF}}) is a surname. The surname may derive from the [[Welsh language|Welsh]] <br />
{{lang|cy|coch}} (English: "red"),<ref>Farrar-Hockley 1974, pp. 2–3</ref> possibly given as a nickname to someone with red hair or a red complexion. Another possible derivation is that it was a reduced form of the [[Irish language|Irish]] McGough which itself is an Anglicized form of Gaelic {{lang|ga|Mag Eochadha}}, a [[patronymic]] from the personal name {{lang|ga|{{linktext|Eochaidh}}}} (variant {{lang|ga|Eachaidh}}), "horseman", both derivatives of Irish {{lang|ga|each}} "horse".{{citation needed|date=April 2015}}<br />
