Early Origins of the D'anger family

The surname D'anger was first found in Dorset, England where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The name "is from 'D'Angerville.' Five places in Normandy still bear the name of Angerville 1. I see no reason to doubt this derivation. The French terminative 'ville' occasionally becomes -field in English nomenclature" 2

Another source confirms that they were from Angerville in Contentin in Normandy, one of the oldest Norman noble families. 3
