This theory is from an old Swedish document I´ll show as a curiosity, all written in Swedish
The family name (Bagghufvud, von Baggo) may come from "Norrbagge", a Swedish nickname for a Norwegian.
Already in 1200, in the Norwegian king Håkon Håkonsson Saga, was Norwegians referred to as Norrbagge in Sweden, something the Swedish Earl Birger forbade his men to use.
Bagge was formerly a Norwegian noble family.
We know that the names have changed much over the ages, at this time was also areas in current Sweden Norwegian and Danish territorium.
Because of that all possibilities should be viewed with unbiased eyes.

Apropo to be viewed with unbiased eyes.
Hopefully someone will figure out one day.
Bagge means Billy goat, a popular Swedish term for the stubborn and defiant Norwegians.
Bagghufvud/Bagghuvud means the head of a Billy goat, see the coat of arm of the Swedish Forstenafamily, a branch of the Bagghuvud family, see here
The coat of arms for the Norwegian Bagge family was a Lindworm.
