Depons Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Poinz: the ancestor of the Cliffords; from Pons, in the Saintonge. Pons had four sons who went to England, of whom Drogo FitzPonce and Walter FitzPonce held important baronies (Domesday). The younger brothers were ancestors of the Veseys and Burghs. The name is still to be found as Bounce and Bunce. I remember a poor, humble-minded servant-lad of that name, who for aught one knows may have been as true a descendant of the Lords of Pons as any Clifford, de Burgh, or Vesey.
