Orange Family History
Orange Name Meaning
English: of uncertain origin. A certain William de Orenge
mentioned in Domesday Book probably derives his name from Orange in
Mayenne. Later medieval examples probably come from a female personal
, Orenge, of obscure derivation. THIS ENTRY MISSES THE POINT;
NEEDS RE-RESEARCHING AND EDITING - it’s Dutch too. Mention Dutch
influence in England.French: habitational name from a
place in Vaucluse.
