    Name Meaning

    Some characteristic forenames: French Lucien, Marcelle, Veronique.

    Altered form of French Dufort .

    English: apparently a habitational name from a lost or as yet unidentified place, perhaps from Dulford in Broadhembury (Devon), which is named from an unattested Old English word dylfet ‘pit, quarry’. It is possible that the name was subsequently confused with French Dufort (compare 1 above).
