Doty (surname)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Doty is a surname, most common in the United States and recorded there as early as the 1620 voyage of the Mayflower. The origins and etymology of the surname are a matter of debate. Some sources trace Doty to northern England and to Yorkshire in particular, although there is no agreement as to whether it is a variant of Doughty (and Dowty), Dodd, or another, similar-sounding name.
