Family Name / Last Name: Doray
No. of characters: 5
Origin: Unknown
Meaning: Focused in the Seine-Maritime, the name was also written Dorey, for its most common form from the Channel. It seems to have been dealing with a place name (Oray, Orey?), But I found none that matches. In these circumstances, one might consider rather a variant of Doré (qv), but it should be noted that the family name Oray was also brought in Seine-Maritime. So no certainty that name.
