The history of the last name Abutin

The surname Abutin is believed to have originated in France during the late 16th century. It is thought to be derived from the Old French word "abutin," which means "to border" or "to adjoin." This suggests that the name may have been given to someone who lived on the border or edge of a village or town.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Abutin can be found in the parish records of the town of Beauvais, located in the Picardy region of northern France. In 1598, a man named Pierre Abutin was listed as a resident of the town. This provides evidence that the name was in use in this area during the late 16th century.

Another early reference to the Abutin name can be found in a collection of legal documents from the city of Rouen, dating back to the early 17th century. In these documents, a woman named Marie Abutin is mentioned in relation to a property dispute. This suggests that the name was also present in the Normandy region of France during this time period.
