Dashwood Vad efternamn betyder
apparently a variant of Ashwood with fused French preposition d(e) ‘of’. It may be a late gentrification of the name. Compare Robert Ashwood 1637 in IGI (Saint Giles Cripplegate London) with George Dashwood 1676 in IGI (Saint Giles Cripplegate London) a London merchant for whose son (Robert) the baronetcy of Dashwood was created in 168 Ashwood is however a W Midlands surname in origin so an alternative origin for Dashwood in S and SW England is perhaps to be sought.
