Dufoor Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
Dufoor was originally Dufour, but was changed somewhere around the late 19th century or the early 20th century. There are two stories about how this name changed. One story says that a noble Frenchman called Count Dufour committed a horrible crime. He was banned from France and was forced to change his name so it wouldn't sound French and more Dutch or Flemish. The other story claims that the Dutch and/or Flemish didn't know the name Dufour and therefore wrote down Dufoor on the registration papers when a family with the name Dufour came to live in Belgium.
