Name Meaning

Americanized form of German Dürrenberger (see Durrenberger ). Compare Derreberry and Deberry .

History: The progenitor of the Derryberries was most likely (Johann) Michael Dürrenberger, one of three brothers who immigrated to North America in 1738 from Mertzwiller, Alsace, where they were born into a family of Swiss German origin. By 1749 he was in NJ (where one of his brothers had settled; see Terryberry ), but he later disappeared from the NJ records and apparently ended up in Burke County, NC in the 1760s, where he was first recorded as Michael Terenbargener. His descendants also bear other forms of the surname: Derreberry, Dereberry, Derebery, Derrberry, Dayberry, Dearybury, and DeBerry.
