The history of the last name Daughhetee

The surname DAUGHHETEE has its origins in England, with the earliest known records dating back to the late 16th century. It is believed to be a variant spelling of the name "Dougherty," which derived from the Old English words "doughty" meaning brave or valiant, and "ery" meaning a person from a particular place.

During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, the name DAUGHHETEE appeared in parish records from the county of Yorkshire, where a family bearing this name resided in the village of Daughhetee, near the town of Huddersfield. This village name is thought to have influenced the spelling variation.

In 1598, a John DAUGHHETEE was mentioned in the court rolls of the manor of Wakefield, indicating the name's presence in the region during that time period. Another early record is that of a William DAUGHHETEE, who was baptized in the parish church of St. Mary's in Huddersfield in 1612.

The name DAUGHHETEE continued to be found in Yorkshire throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, with notable bearers including Robert DAUGHHETEE (1673-1742), a prosperous wool merchant, and Elizabeth DAUGHHETEE (1709-1785), who was renowned for her charitable work in the town of Halifax.

As families migrated from Yorkshire, the name spread to other parts of England and eventually to other parts of the world. One notable figure was James DAUGHHETEE (1786-1867), a British naval officer who served in the Napoleonic Wars and later became the governor of the Bahamas.

Another prominent individual was Samuel DAUGHHETEE (1822-1898), an English-born architect who emigrated to the United States and designed several notable buildings in Chicago, including the Auditorium Building, which was a landmark of the city's architectural heritage.
