Early Origins of the Dopen family
The surname Dopen was first found in
Gloucestershire where they held a
family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1300 when Johannes Dopping was recorded with estates in that shire.
