Does anyone know what the surname Perdue mean?

Question

I've looked it up at ask.com. All I found out was that it has a Norman origin. Just curious since one of my characters in my new novel have the last name of Perdue. Any help would be great in the meaning.

Answer 1

When I saw your question, I immediately thought of par dieu or pour dieu - which is French and is loosely translated: for God. It could also mean lost per the previous response. I believe that you're on the right track with the Norman origin. Good luck.
