According to this article -
http://genealogy.wikia.com/wiki/Family_name#Poland
Wielgus means "the big one". Certainly it does appear to be related to words like wielky "big", wielgachy "huge". The -us ending gives the name a Lithuanian appearance, and there is a Lithuanian surname, Vielgus. But some Lithuanian surnames are modified Polish names, and vice versa.
