Oggs

Oggs is a term that may refer to several distinct topics rather than a single, widely recognized entity. Its meaning depends on context, and most references to "Oggs" appear as a surname, as a family name, or as a nonstandard plural form related to the Ogg multimedia container format.

As a surname, Oggs is rare. It appears in historical records and genealogical sources, typically of English or Scottish origin. Beyond its use as a family name, there are no universally acknowledged notable persons designated simply as "Oggs" in mainstream reference works.

In digital media, Ogg is a free, open container format developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation. It supports several codecs, including Vorbis for audio and Theora for video, with Opus becoming common for audio. The plural form "Oggs" is occasionally used informally to describe files stored in the Ogg format or collections of such files, but standard terminology uses "OGG files" or the ".ogg" extension.

In fiction and popular culture, Ogg or Oggs may be used as a personal name, a place name, or a group name in different works. These usages are not standardized and vary by author, so "Oggs" does not refer to a single canonical entity.
