Hi all Drons! I'm a Dron living in Glasgow, Scotland, where my family goes back a long way.

I've read with interest all the comments about origins/roots of the name. I've been led to believe the name is of French origin, coming over with the Normans in the 11th century, although this could be wrong (came from a family history company who sell tacky family crest coasters and prints etc.)

My dad did some research a few years ago and traced our tree back roughly three hundred years, I'll try get some info from him to share. I too have been to the village of Dron in Perthshire, not much going on there, although I know at least one of my ancestors is buried in the graveyard. For about two hundred years the predominant line of Drons in my family went from Alexander-James-Alexander-James until my father, Alexander, called me Gavin. Before that the only other i know of was a William Dron, a woodcutter from.........Dron

I think Dron must be one of the rarest surnames, I'm proud to be a Dron, even though it can be a total pain saying it over and over again to people on the phone, only for them to still get it wrong!
Look forward to hearing from you
