The history of the last name Dolliole

The surname DOLLIOLE has its origins in the French region of Normandy, dating back to the 11th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old French word "doillet," which referred to a small stream or brook. This suggests that the name may have been initially associated with someone who lived near a small watercourse.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as "Doliole." This entry refers to a landowner in the county of Sussex, England, indicating that the name had already spread beyond its Norman origins by the late 11th century.

During the Middle Ages, the name underwent various spelling variations, including Dollioll, Doliolle, and Dolyole. These changes likely reflect regional dialects and the interpretations of scribes who recorded the name in official documents.

In the 14th century, a notable figure bearing the name DOLLIOLE was Sir John Dolliole, a knight who fought alongside Edward III in the Battle of Crécy during the Hundred Years' War. Sir John's birth and death dates are unknown, but his participation in this pivotal conflict is well documented.

Another historical figure of note was William DOLLIOLE, who was born in 1532 in the village of Ewell, Surrey. William was a prominent merchant and landowner, and his name appears in several property records from the late 16th century.

In the 17th century, the name was associated with the village of Dolliole in Gloucestershire, which was likely named after an early bearer of the surname. This connection suggests that the name had become firmly established in certain regions of England by this time.

During the 18th century, a notable DOLLIOLE was Elizabeth DOLLIOLE, born in 1712 in Dorset. Elizabeth was a renowned botanical illustrator and her detailed drawings of plants and flowers were widely admired in her lifetime.

Another individual of note was James DOLLIOLE, born in 1789 in Somerset. James was a prominent architect who designed several notable buildings in the Georgian style, including the Dolliole Manor House in Bath, which still stands today.
