North German (Düe): from the Germanic personal name
Dudo, which is of uncertain derivation. In some cases it is
said to be a pet form of the compound name Liudolf (composed of
Old Saxon liud ‘people’, ‘tribe’ + wolf ‘wolf’); in
other cases it may be a derivative of Germanic theud ‘people’,
‘race’.Danish: from due ‘pigeon’, ‘dove’, applied as a
metonymic occupational name for a dove keeper or as a nickname.In
some cases, perhaps an altered form of French Ledoux.Possibly a variant of Welsh Dewey.
