Irish (Ulster): adopted as an English equivalent of Gaelic
Ó Duibhne ‘descendant of Dubhne’, a personal name
meaning ‘ill-going’, ‘disagreeable’. Compare
Deeney. Peoples is a pseudo-translation based on the
phonetic resemblance of the Gaelic name to Gaelic daoine
‘people’.English: patronymic from a pet form (in
-el) of the Old French personal name Pepis, oblique case
Pepin (see Pepin).
