Origin of Ores Total Records: 3  Origin of Ores, Meaning of Ores Origin: this surname is of origin Espa?ol or Arabian Surnames: Flores, Florez Submitted by: Claudio Marcelo Flores Origin of Ores, Meaning of Ores Origin: The surname DeForest is a corrupted form of the French family name more commonly spelled Delaforest. The name was derived from the place where someone lived or owned land. The name itself can be traced to an old French word "forest(e)" which has the same meaning as the English word of the same spelling. In French today this word is rendered "foret". Simply the word denotes "of or from the forest". This would have been a way to designate someone who dwelt in or near a forest. Before the establishment of a formal system of hereditary surnames it was a common practice for someone to take on a name of a nearby geographical feature, like a forest. The DeForest name could also have been taken by someone because of the work they did like being a forester or one who grew timber.
