Dupuy (surname)
(Redirected from P. Dupuy)
Dupuy, also spelt DuPuy, DePuy or De Puy (American 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.[1][2] In Aquitaine and in the south of France, it is more generally a frenchification of its original Occitan forms such as Delpech, Delpuech[1][3] and half frenchified forms (article) Dupech, Dupuch, Dupey. They all share the same meaning and etymology.[1] The surname Dupuis / Du Puis is seemingly unrelated; it is widespread in northern France and means "of the well".[1]
