Davenport

Davenport is a feminine name of British origin, beginning as a place name for the town nestled by the Dane River in Chesire, England. You may also recognize Davenport as a city in Iowa and Florida. It was coined from a blend of Celtic and Old English elements and is thought to have sprung to life during the Norman Conquest of 1066. Since then, it has also flourished as a habitational last name for those from Davenport. In Ireland, Davenport was adopted as a last name in the stead of Ó Donndubhartaigh, though it does not share the same meaning. A choice for parents seeking something traveled and different, Davenport leaves a memorable first impression.
