Etymology of DasoneWhat does the name Dasone mean? Today's generation of the Dasone family inherits a name that was first used by the Scottish tribe known as the Picts. The first family to use the name Dasone lived in Angus (in the modern region of Tayside), and claim descent from Gaelic MacDhai, son of David. 1 Early Origins of the Dasone familyThe surname Dasone was first found in Angus (Gaelic: Aonghas), part of the Tayside region of northeastern Scotland, and present day Council Area of Angus, formerly known as Forfar or Forfarshire, where they were descended from the Gaelic MacDhai, son of David.

Migration of the Dasone familyMany Scottish families suffered enormous hardships and were compelled to leave their country of birth. They traveled to Ireland and Australia, but mostly to the colonies of North America, where many found the freedom and opportunity they sought. It was not without a fight, though, as many were forced to stand up and defend their freedom in the American War of Independence. The ancestors of these Scots abroad have rediscovered their heritage in the last century through the Clan societies and other organizations that have sprung up across North America.
