Meaning & History
Possibly a partial gallicization or French translation of a Spanish surname Delpaneaux, as the name appears to contain the Spanish contraction del meaning "of the, from the" (which does not exist in modern French) and the French noun panneaux, which is the plural of panneau meaning "panel" as well as "sign, signpost".The best known bearer of this name is Delpaneaux Wills, an American actor who is of Afro-Cuban descent on his father's side and of Sierra Leonean descent on his mother's side. He was credited as Delpano Wills in the early years of his acting career.
