After defeating King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, William, Duke of Normandy, handed much of Britain to his numerous victorious Barons. His sons, nephews, and other younger lines of his family shared the lordships. They adopted the Norman surname system. After several rebellious conflicts among his Barons, Duke William commissioned a census of all of England in 1086 to ascertain who possessed which area once and for all. He dubbed the census the Domesday Book, implying that registered individuals would retain property ownership until the end. As a result, the surname is said to be derived from the tenant of the Dagworth estates, inhabited by Hugh de Montfort. People feel that the name Dagwood is often borne by methodical and dutiful individuals who are protective, caring, sociable, giving, sincere, loving, and compassionate.
