This suggests that the name may have been initially associated with a person living in an area prone to icy conditions or perhaps someone working with glass.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in a medieval manuscript from the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris, where a certain Renaud DUVERGLAS is mentioned as a landowner in the year 1187.

François DUVERGLAS lived from 1498 to 1572 and his works are still celebrated as architectural masterpieces.
In the 17th century, a notable figure with the surname DUVERGLAS was Marie-Anne DUVERGLAS, a wealthy noblewoman who played a significant role in the French literary salons of the time.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
