There is debate around the origins of the name D'Hautville, but it is widely believed that the House has it's origins on Sacred Terra itself. Indeed the name is so ancient that none of the current bloodlines that make-up the house actually carry this name in anything other than a title. Regardless of origins, there is some evidence to support the theory that the House went through an extensive period of migration throughout the galaxy before settling in the Agrippa Sector.
