Walter Do, Devon, Henry III-Edward I: Testa de Nevill, sive Liber Feodorum, temp. Henry III-Edward I.

From the animal, like Hart, Buck, Roe, &c. Those mythical ' parties' to so many legal proceedings, "John Dob and Richard Rob," are evidently of forest extraction, and point to the days when forest laws prevailed and venison was a sacred thing. In H.R. there is a John le Doe.
The Scottish for Dove? Le Do. H.R.
From the ancient family of De Ou or D'Eu, from Eu, in Normandy. Hence the surnames Eu, Ew, and Ewe.
