Name Meaning
English (Cambridgeshire): variant of Desborough, a habitational name from any of the places in Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire called Desborough. The first is named from Old English dweorge-dwostle ‘penny-royal’ + beorg ‘hill’; the second from the Old English personal name Dēor + burh ‘fortress, stronghold’. This form of the surname is now rare in Britain.
