Delevingne is a surname of Old French origin. De le vigne was the surname of an 11th-century noble family from Tournai, Belgium, where they possessed the right of minting by the year 1156. The courtesan Doris Delevingne, whose father Edward Charles Delevingne owned a haberdashery shop which also sold French goods, lied that she was descended from the noble Flemish family: but in reality she had ‘lowly origins and place’. She was the grand-aunt of models Poppy Delevingne and Cara Delevingne.
