Vaughn Family History
Vaughn Genealogy & Family TreeVaughn is a Welsh name from Shropshire, England, where the family descended from John Vaughan. It comes from the Welsh words fychan, vychan, and bychan, all of which mean “small.” It may have been given as an ironic nickname to tall people. Roots for this name can also be found in Ireland. The family motto is Non revertar inultus which means “I will not return unrevenged.”
Other spellings include “Vaughan” and “McMahon.” Notable people with the surname include English filmmaker Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class, Stardust), American baseball player Greg Vaughn (Milwaukee Brewers, San Diego Padres, Cincinnati Reds), American basketball player Chico Vaughn (St. Louis Hawks, Detroit Pistons, Minnesota Pipers), American actress Terri Vaughn (The Steve Harvey Show, Friday, Daddy’s Little Girls), and American actor Vince Vaughn (Dodgeball, Wedding Crashers, The Break-Up). The first Vaughn to come to America was David Vaughn in Virginia in 1707.
