- Source: Dupuy (surname)
Dupuy, also spelt DuPuy (US spelling), and in its old form du Puy is originally a French surname centered in Aquitaine, dating back to medieval times. Translated, the name means "of a puy", puy being a "height" in Old French. In Aquitaine and in the south of France, it is more generally a frenchification of its original Occitan forms such as Delpech, Delpuech and half frenchified forms (article) Dupech, Dupuch, Dupey. They all share the same meaning and etymology. The surname Dupuis / Du Puis is seemingly unrelated; it is widespread in northern France and means "of the well".
