Last Name DOWLESummary/Contribute |
Meaning | Local: At the dowl, or the dowler, one who lived at the dowl. Bishop Kennet states that landmarks, or boundary stones, are in some arts of Kent called 'dowl-stones,' and explains 'dole,' or 'doul,' as signifying a bulk of green narrow slip of ground left unplowed in arable land. Queen Elizabeth in her Injunctions, 1559. directs that at the customary perambulations on the Rogation Days, the admonition shall be given, 'cursed be he which translateth the boundaries and doles of his neighbor.' It is thus made clear that 'dowle' was a form of 'dole,' or 'doll' (a partition). Thomas at the dowle, or William Dowler, meant one who resided on such a strip of ground, or by such a landmark. | |
