Duce Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

From Ussey, in Normandy. Robert de Usseio occurs in the Duchy 1180 (Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae).

The Norman People (1874)

The Shropshire name of Duce is probably a corruption of Dews, a name which, as Dew (deprived of the final s), occurs now in the neighbouring counties of Hereford and Monmouth, and elsewhere. It is, however, noteworthy that the name of Duce occurred in Hunts in the 13th century (H. R.). In such a work as Eyton's "Antiquities of Shropshire," which contains minute details of the powerful Shropshire families of the 12th and 13th centuries, we find several names, such as Carbonell and Cantilupe, scarcely represented now as family names in the county.
