[Surname] Origins of Defore surname
Hello,
I have a question about a grandmother's maiden name. It was spelled Defore. Does anyone know the origins of this name? As far as I know, she was supposed to have some french ancestors.
I really appreciate having any help about this. Thank you!

Some of the Dutch took French names. Changes are it might be Dutch
Defore is an alteration of French Dufour which comes from Le Four, a common placename in France.
