Del Bosque

The Noble Tribe of delBosque represented here by Lady Mellisa of that Ilk. The name DEL BOSQUE was originally derived from the Old French 'boissell' probably originally a name for one who measured out corn or a maker of bushel-vessels. The earliest French hereditary surnames are found in the 12th century, at more or less the same time as they arose in England, but they are by no means common before the 13th century, and it was not until the 15th century that they stabilized to any great extent; before then a surname might be handed down for two or three generations, but then abandoned in favour of another.
