Dandough is an ancient name dating from the times of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It was a name for a person who was a male, where it was originally used as a pet form of Andrew. 1 Essentially the surname Dandough originally derived from the Old Scottish name Andrew.
The surname Dandough was first found in Surrey in the parish of Leigh, where the Dendy family held estates and made sizable donations to the local church. 2 The first record of the family was Dandi (without surname) who was listed in Lincolnshire in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1271-1273. The same rolls list Richard Dande in Huntingdonshire. Later the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379 listed Willelmus Dandy, et uxor ejus and the Lay Subsidy Rolls of Lancashire listed Thomas Dandisone in 1332. 3 Adam Dandy was listed in the Register of Freeman of Yorkshire in 1312. 1

Until the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Dandough include Dandie, Dandy, Dande, Dando and others.
Notables of this surname at this time include: Kerr Dand, son of the eighth Lord of Ferniehurst; and Edward Dendy (bap. 1613-1674), English Serjeant-at-Arms in the Long Parliament and for the Rump during the trial of Charles I, convicted regicide, after the Restoration he fled to Rotterdam, and later to Switzerland where he died before the English ambassador George Downing could arrange for an arrest warrant in Rotterdam.

Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time. Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Dandough were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records: Elizabeth Dande who settled in Boston in 1712; William Dando who settled in Barbados in 1654; Joseph Dando arrived in Philadelphia in 1838.
