Family name origins & meanings

  • English : unexplained.
  • Possibly a Americanized spelling of French Duthie or Dutey, both variants of Dutil, or a translation of French Dudevoir, which is probably a dit-name in origin, from one of the regiments that served in New France, perhaps a nickname for someone obsessed with duty.
  • A family named Dudevoir, from the Auvergne, settled in Montreal in 1690.
