Recorded today as Spridgen, Spridgeon, Spurgin, and possibly others, this is an English surname. However it originated from the famous Vikings, and is a patronymic of the ancient Norse personal name "Sprigin", itself composed of the pre 7th century Old Norse "sprige" meaning twig branch; and the diminutive suffix "-in"; hence "little branch, or son of Little Branch". The "-eon", ending is thought to be an imitative spelling from existing words such as pigeon or surgeon.
