One notable example is the Rôles de l'Échiquier de Normandie, a collection of legal records from the Exchequer of Normandy, which includes references to individuals with the surname LADUCER during this period.

The name LADUCER can also be traced back to the town of La Douze in the Dordogne region of southwestern France. It is possible that the surname originated from this place name, which itself may have derived from the Occitan word "douzil," meaning "small stream."
