Daveney Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
The town and castle of Avene, near Louvaine in Flanders, were occupied by our King Edward I., and from that place the family probably migrated to England. In 1279 we find John and Hugh de Aveney resident at Lakenheath and Wongford, co. Suffolk. At a later period the name in different forms is found in the neighbouring counties of Norfolk and Cambridge. In the fifteenth century it underwent various corruptions, and was written Daubeney, Daubeny, Deweney, &c. Still later it got twisted out of all identity of form as Dybnye, Debney, Dibney, and even Obney. At length these different spellings came to distinguish different branches, until towards the middle of the last century, when the orthography prevalent in each was fixed and handed down, the knowledge of any former identity between such differing names having been lost, except to such genealogical enquirers as Mr. H. Daveney, of Norwich, who has courteously supplied these particulars. The Catton branch of the family appear to have preserved the old and correct orthography for more than three centuries back.
