Etymology of DABNY

The surname "Dabny" is of English origin. It is derived from the Old English personal name "Daebehæna" or "Dæbbanig", which itself evolved from the masculine given name "Dæbbe". The name "Dabny" was initially a locational surname, referring to individuals who resided in places named Dabny or Dabney. These place names were formed by combining the Old English elements "daeb" (meaning "dark" or "black") and "eg" (meaning "island" or "piece of land"), indicating a dark or black island. Over time, the surname "Dabny" became adopted by families descended from inhabitants of these places, and it has since served as a hereditary last name.
