The last name Delorit comes from French and Belgian roots. Although it is not found in direct form in any locations in France and Belgium, it is possible that it extends from names such as DeLoye and DeLoitte. Most likely it was changed through time. Most Delorit's migrated from provincial Namur in Belgium in the early to mid 1800s and settled in Door County, Wisconsin. Two separate Delorit families reside in near by Brussels and Green Bay, Wisconsin still today.
