Dawe Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(Anglo-Hebrew) dims. of David, q.v.

Dawe the dykere, And a dozeyne othere.—Piers Plowman, 3115-6.

(English) also a nickname from the bird [English daw]

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

(Welsh) Descendant of Daw, a pet form of David (beloved); dweller at the sign of the jackdaw; one lacking in wits, a simpleton.

Dictionary of American Family Names (1956) by Elsdon Coles Smith

See David. In some cases the derivation may be from the O.-French awe, which Roquefort defines as a water, river, fountain, or pond; and this notion is supported by the former mode of writing the name-D'Awes, which makes it the equivalent of De Aquis.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower
