Delorieux Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

As far as I know, in Bourgogne, France, there is a place called Morvan. Here, in the middle ages, there was a wood called Lorin. Those who possesed the wood were called "Des-Lor-ieux" : Deslorieux. Since the middle ages to the 20th century, this family were rich farmers called "laboureurs" in French. With the time, the "s" desapeared, and the name became "Delorieux". Now many who bare the Delorieux surname live in Bourgogne, but also everywhere else in France; and with slavery in renaissance, it extended to Dominicain Republic and the USA. I'm wearing this name, and I'm glad of it, it is very nice and pure. Even if I'm living in Bourgogne, it is still an unusual name.
