Origin & History

A topographic surname from the Old French 'du pont', meaning 'of the bridge' or 'from the bridge', referring to a family who lived near or beside a bridge. Bridges were important landmarks in medieval France, and topographic surnames derived from them are found across the country; Dupont and its variants (Du Pont, Dupon) are among the most recognizable French surnames.
