DENZIL.
From the Cornish surname Denzell, which is probably from Spanish doncel
(see note below), a diminutive of don ("gentleman;
nobleman"), denoting a "noble youth," or
"page." Jago
is another Spanish name used in Cornwall. Usage: America,
Canada, Great Britain.
Denzil Tulser, a character in the BBC sitcom Only Fools
and Horses. Denzil DaCosta (d. 1965), was an American jazz composer
and percussionist. (Wiki)
... The diminutive of don was
in Italian, donzel; in Spanish, doncel; in French, damoiseau,
a name applied to noble youths in a state of pagedom, and under the
control of the officer called in Spain, alcayde de los donceles;
in France, maître des damoiseaux. These young
gentlemen soon contrived to shake off their title, which chiefly
survives in the surnames Donzelli, Donizetti, Donzelle, Denzil; but
their sisters have been more patient of it, and are still English
damsels, French demoiselles, and Italian damigelle; the pretty old donzelle
having become obsolete, while signorina is the title in actual use... (History of Christian Names,
Yonge, 1884)
