The history of the last name Darbouze

The surname Darbouze originated in France, specifically in the Occitan region of southern France. It is believed to have emerged sometime in the 12th or 13th century. The name is derived from the Occitan words "dar" (meaning "oak") and "bouze" (meaning "woods" or "forest"), suggesting that the name may have originally referred to someone who lived near or worked in an oak forest.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Darbouze can be found in a document from the town of Toulouse in the year 1287, where a certain Pierre Darbouze is mentioned as a landowner. Another early reference comes from a medieval manuscript dated 1312, which lists a Guillaume Darbouze among the citizens of the town of Carcassonne.

As the name Darbouze became more widespread, it also underwent some variations in spelling. Historical documents from the 15th and 16th centuries show variations such as Darbouse, Darbouze, and Darbouzet, among others. These variations likely arose due to regional differences in pronunciation and spelling conventions.
