Origin
editNo English surnames can prove a link back to William the Conqueror (1066 and all that) - surnames mostly appear 14th and 15th centuries. As a definition of a surname this is one of the many popular and wrong etymologies of surnames. It is true that there is a strong concentration of the name in Gloucesterhire, England - this argues for a relatively recent origin of the name, perhaps even as late as eighteenth century, and perhaps with a single French Curthoys moving to the area around then. The name appears unrecorded in the British Isles before 1696. 213.122.52.60 (talk) 14:39, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
