DOW Family History
This surname is of medieval origins, and is generally considered to be a nickname. It derives from either the Welsh "Daw", a pet name form of David, the Hebrew for "friend", or it derives from "dawe", the jackdaw. The latter popular version is typically Chaucerian and shows the wicked and robust Middle English sense of humour, the bird being renowned for its colourful display, rattish display and loud, raucous call, clearly the original nameholders were literally "Jack the lad(s)"! The name recordings include: Robert Dow, of Cumberland, in the 1332 Subsidy Rolls, and Lawrence Dow, of Somerset, a witness at the Assize Court held at Taunton in 1254.Select Audience
