Tour Scotland video of the Dawson memorial stained glass window on ancestry visit to Logie Kirk by Stirling, Scotland. To the memory of John Dawson of Manor, died 28th of March, 1900. Dedicated by his daughters.
The Dawson surname is of English origins, and is a patronymic form of the medieval male given name Daw. This is a nickname form of David, adopted from the Hebrew male given name Dodavehu meaning " beloved of Jehovah ". This name was borne by the greatest of the early Kings of Israel, and led to its popularity, first among the Jews, and later among the Christians. In Britain the popularity of the name was increased by the fame of St. David, the patron saint of Wales, and by the fact that it was borne by two kings of Scotland as the name David.
