English (of Norman origin): variant of Dawtrey, a habitational name with fused French preposition d(e), for someone from Hauterive in Orne, France, named from Old French haute rive ‘high bank’ (rendered into Latin Alta Ripa). The medieval Dawtrey family had lands in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Sussex in the 12th century.
