The history of the last name Duhart

The surname DUHART has its origins in France, originating in the 17th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old French words "du" meaning "of" and "hart" meaning "hart" or "deer." This suggests that the name may have initially referred to someone who lived near a place where deer were found or someone who worked as a hunter or gamekeeper.

The earliest recorded instances of the surname DUHART can be traced back to the region of Normandy in northern France. It is possible that the name was initially a locational surname, referring to a specific place or estate associated with deer or hunting activities. However, no specific records or manuscripts from that era have been found to confirm this conclusively.

One of the earliest recorded individuals with the surname DUHART was Pierre DUHART, born in 1672 in the town of Rouen, Normandy. He was a prominent merchant and trader during his time, and his name appears in several local records and business documents from the late 17th century.

In the early 20th century, the name DUHART gained some fame through Émile DUHART (1892-1968), a French writer and journalist who published several acclaimed novels and works of non-fiction.
