The history of the last name Duhe

The surname DUHE originated in France during the medieval period. It is believed to be a variant spelling of the French word "deuil," which means "mourning" or "grief." This suggests that the name may have been derived from a nickname for someone who had a melancholic or somber demeanor.

The earliest recorded instances of the DUHE surname can be traced back to the regions of Normandy and Brittany in northern France. These areas were heavily influenced by the Norman conquest of England in 1066, and it is possible that the name may have been brought to England by Norman settlers during this time.

In the Domesday Book of 1086, which was a comprehensive survey of landowners in England commissioned by William the Conqueror, there are no recorded instances of the DUHE surname. However, this does not necessarily mean that the name did not exist at that time, as the Domesday Book did not encompass all regions of England and may have omitted some names.

One of the earliest known bearers of the DUHE surname was Jean DUHE, who was born in the village of Rouen, Normandy, around the year 1210. Records indicate that he was a wealthy landowner and merchant who traded in wool and wine.

Another notable figure with the DUHE surname was Pierre DUHE, a French poet and playwright who lived in Paris during the 16th century. He was born in 1522 and is best known for his satirical plays that criticized the excesses of the French aristocracy.

In the 17th century, a family of DUHE's settled in the French colony of Louisiana in North America. One of their descendants, Jacques DUHE, was a prominent figure in the early history of New Orleans. He was born in 1712 and served as a military commander during the French and Indian War.

During the French Revolution in the late 18th century, a DUHE named Marie-Antoinette DUHE was a member of the French nobility who was executed by guillotine for her royalist sympathies. She was born in 1755 and was a distant relative of the famous Queen Marie Antoinette.

In the 19th century, a DUHE named Charles DUHE was a renowned French architect who designed several notable buildings in Paris, including the Palais Garnier opera house. He was born in 1825 and his architectural style was heavily influenced by the Baroque and Rococo movements.
