Word history is nothing at all to do with genealogy......... it is an English language word, could be habitational name from Orsay in Seine-et-Orne, France after the Normans invaded, could be an English words taken/translated from the Latin language ( which the British spoke) from the personal name Orcius, could be a mis spelling of Dorset another habitational word or Dorsey or Dorsy which is a small village and townland between Belleeks and Cullyhanna in County Armagh, Northern Ireland UK....... the ONLY way to find out is to research back and prove ancestry
