Dagher Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
The first Dagher grandfather was known by the name of Khattar. He left his homeland, what nowadays we call Iraq, in the year 1421 A.D for Aleppo, Syria. The family resided there for 190 years. Then, one of the family descendants, named Kurkumaz, left Aleppo and settled in Damascus. He stayed in Damascus where he became close to the ruler there who got him a decent job.
The story says that people revolted over the ruler of Damascus, so Kurkumaz had to leave with his five male sons: Kurkumaz Jr, Mousa, Latif, Ghramis, and Ibrahim. They settled in the town of Yanouh (94 km north of Beirut). Thereafter they spread throughout Lebanon.
