The ancestry of Americans come from many places. You really can't say there is an American surname. One of the above says Hannay is Scottish. So if anyone in America has the name Hannay, it is quite likely they had ancestor from Scotland. American is only a nationality. It is the nationality of all U.S. citizens irregardless of where our ancestors came from or when they came. Our ancestral heritage comes from many places, mostly in Europe.

This website should have some information for you as they mention Aggett.
There is also a connection with Ireland. Agat means outside in Irish and when some irish families moved to the UK or the USA, they thought it best to anglicise their names to Aggat or Aggett.
