If it is written “Duval” and not “Du Val” then it is probable, that comes from a surname.
It can have plusior reason to that.
Perhaps, is this the patronym of an ancestor female who would have been transmitted in this way?
Some times it arrive that, alias transforms into a surname.
More easily if alias is already a patronym!
Yet, it's very rare in France, perhaps more frequent on the lands of the immigrants (quebec...)?
