Name Meaning

patronymic meaning ‘son of the dean’, see Dean 2. Since medieval deans were celibate, their sons would have to have been illegitimate, but le Dene was probably also used as a non-clerical nickname, so illegitimacy is not necessarily to be inferred.

patronymic meaning ‘son of Deyne or Dene’, a pet form of Reynald (Reginald); see Dean 3.
