Where did the French De'hay family come from? What is the French De'hay family crest and coat of arms? When did the De'hay family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the De'hay family history?

Noble surnames, such as De'hay, evoke images of the ancient homeland of the French people. The original bearer of the name De'hay, which is a local surname, once lived, held land, or was born in the beautiful region of Lorraine. In France, hereditary surnames were adopted according to fairly general rules and during the late Middle Ages, names that were derived from localities became increasingly widespread. Local names originally denoted the proprietorship of the village or estate. The De'hay family originally lived at the town of Paresse or Parez, in the Lorraine. Although one would at first assume that the name is derived from the city of Paris, evidence suggests that the names of both the town in the Lorraine and the French capital are derived from a Gaulish tribe called the Parisii.
