The history of the last name Duberry

The surname DUBERRY has its origins in the Norman French language and is believed to have been derived from the Old French words "du" meaning "of" and "berry" referring to the small fruit-bearing plant or the region of Berry in central France. This suggests that the name may have originally been a locational surname, given to someone who lived near a berry-producing area or was associated with the region of Berry.

The earliest recorded instances of the name DUBERRY can be traced back to the late 11th century in England, shortly after the Norman Conquest of 1066. It is likely that the name was brought to England by Norman settlers and landowners who were granted estates and titles by William the Conqueror.

One of the earliest known bearers of the name was Sir William DUBERRY, a Norman knight who fought alongside William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He was later granted lands in Gloucestershire and is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as the lord of the manor of Duberyton, which may have been named after him or vice versa.

In the 13th century, a branch of the DUBERRY family settled in the county of Wiltshire, where the name is recorded in various spellings such as Deberye, Dubery, and Dubbery. Notable members of this line include John DUBERRY (c. 1280 - 1348), a wealthy wool merchant and landowner, and his son, Richard DUBERRY (c. 1310 - 1382), who served as the Sheriff of Wiltshire in 1361.

The DUBERRY name also has a strong presence in the historical records of Yorkshire, where a family of that name held lands and titles for several centuries. One of the most prominent figures was Sir Thomas DUBERRY (c. 1450 - 1521), a renowned soldier and courtier who served under King Henry VIII and was knighted for his bravery in the Battle of Flodden in 1513.

Another notable bearer of the DUBERRY name was Elizabeth DUBERRY (c. 1580 - 1654), a wealthy heiress from Lincolnshire who was one of the first Puritan settlers in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Her substantial dowry helped finance the establishment of the town of Duxbury, which was named in her honor and where she lived until her death.
