ORIGINS of - 'DUNK'.
First records in Britain show the Dunk family name in the tax census
rolls of Early Kings, but I guess that could be said of any name!
As usual, there are several theories, but here are a couple of suggestions.
- The Dunk (or Dunks) name is thought to be German in origin and is
wide spread in Belgium and Holland. Some people believe it was given
to someone who lived on a piece of raised, dry land surrounded by marsh.
It was probably shortened when the Dunks came to England.
Cloth workers from Ghent in Flanders were invited to come to England by Edward the 3rd in 1331 and brought with them their superior skills as most cloth of high quality was imported from abroad. Areas suitable for making cloth were the Wealds of Sussex and Kent, and the Dunk family settled there.
Original research: 'Derrick Dunks' from Kent http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ddunks7/index.html
- Ancient Anglo-Saxon origin, possibly stemming from the word 'dunch'
meaning bump or knock.
