Hugh male forename, name of three saints.
St Hugh of Cluny (1024–1109), abbot of Cluny. A monk at Cluny from about c.1040, he became abbot in 1049, and it was during the period of his rule that the great expansion of Cluny took place. His feast day is 29 April.
St Hugh of Lincoln (c.1140–1200), a Carthusian monk and bishop, noted for his scholarship, who revived the learning of the Lincoln schools. He was proverbial for his justice, as for his care for the sick and oppressed; he was also the friend and critic of three Angevin kings, Henry II, Richard, and John.

He is sometimes shown with a tame swan (from his manor at Stow), and with a chalice ornamented with the child Jesus. His feast day is 17 November and his translation, 6 October.
Little St Hugh (d. 1255), also known as Hugh of Lincoln, a boy of nine whose murdered body was discovered in a well; the rumour spread that he had been the victim of ritual murder carried out by the Jewish community in Lincoln, and as a result 19 Jews were executed. The story represents a popular form of anti-Semitic belief of the period. His feast day is 27 August.
