DELUCE Family History

This is a slightly anglicised form of the German-Dutch-Flemish locational name Loo or Loos, both being recorded heraldically, with Arms being granted by all three countries. In our opinion the "English" surname derives from "de loose of Holland" or "de loose of Flanders", both being Huguenot recordings circa 1680. The name translates as "the dwellers by the grove" from the Olde High German "loh" recorded in the 7th Century and found in modern spellings such as "Waterloo". The modern surname spellings include Dellos, Delouch, Deluze or Deluce first recorded in England in 1697 at the Huguenot Church, Threadneedle Street, London, and De Louch (1689) and Dellos (1698).
