Where did the English Davich family come from? What is the English Davich family crest and coat of arms? When did the Davich family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Davich family history? The name Davich arrived in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name Davich comes from the first name David, which means "beloved." The name David was quite popular as an honor to the biblical king of that name. Its popularity increased in Britain firstly by virtue of its being the name of the patron saint of Wales.Endless spelling variations are a prevailing characteristic of Norman surnames. Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules, and the introduction of Norman French added an unfamiliar ingredient to the English linguistic stew. French and Latin, the languages of the court, also influenced spellings. Finally, Medieval scribes generally spelled words according to how they sounded, so one person was often referred to by different spellings in different documents. The name has been spelled Davidge, Davidis, Daivilla, Daivile, Davadge and others. First found in Sussex where they were Lords of the manor of Peasmarsh in that shire, and were descended from Robert, Count of Eu, in Normandy.

More information is included under the topic Early Davich Notables in all our PDF Extended History products. To escape the political and religious persecution within England at the time, many English families left for the various British colonies abroad. The voyage was extremely difficult, though, and the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving. But for those who made it, the trip was most often worth it. Many of the families who arrived went on to make valuable contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families reveals a number of immigrants bearing the name Davich or a variant listed above: John Davidge settled in Lower Burgeo, Newfoundland, in 1848; Thomas Davidge was a planter of Mose Ambrose, Newfoundland, in 1858; Thomas Davage was a planter of Bay du Nord, Newfoundland in 1871.
The Davich Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Davich Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 27 October 2010 at 13:30. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
