Excerpt from A Genealogical History of the Dupuy Family It is quite significant that the chief of the battalion of the forty-eighth French Regiment of the line, who is the author of several military works of note in the nineteenth century, is named de Podio Dupuy. This seems to confirm the suggestion that de Podio is likely to have been a family surname. Whether the name was de Podio, Del Poggio, or Dupuy, each represents a word of the same meaning in its different language.
