The history of the last name Antieau

The surname ANTIEAU has its origins in France, dating back to the 16th century. It is derived from the French word "antique," which means ancient or antique. The name likely originated as a descriptive nickname for someone who lived in an old or ancient dwelling or worked as an antiquarian.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the ANTIEAU surname can be found in the village of Évreux, in the region of Normandy, France. In a parish register from 1598, there is a record of a marriage between Pierre ANTIEAU and Marie Duval. This suggests that the name was already well-established in the area by the late 16th century.

In the 17th century, the ANTIEAU surname began to spread to other regions of France, including the Île-de-France and Picardy regions. This was likely due to migration and the movement of families during this period. By the late 17th century, the name had also made its way to the French colonies in North America, particularly in the areas of modern-day Quebec and Louisiana.

One notable figure with the ANTIEAU surname was Jean-Baptiste ANTIEAU (1703-1778), a French-Canadian merchant and landowner who lived in Quebec City. He was a prominent figure in the city's trade and business community and owned several properties in the area.

Another significant individual was François ANTIEAU (1721-1795), a French soldier and explorer who served in the French military during the French and Indian War. He is known for his role in establishing several forts and settlements in the Illinois Country, which was then part of the French colony of Louisiana.

In the 19th century, the ANTIEAU surname continued to be present in both France and North America. One notable individual was Émile ANTIEAU (1834-1901), a French artist and painter who was part of the Barbizon School of landscape painting. His works are featured in several museums and galleries across Europe.

Another notable figure was Louis ANTIEAU (1865-1932), a French-Canadian politician and lawyer who served as a member of the Canadian House of Commons, representing the district of Westmorland, New Brunswick.

The ANTIEAU surname has also been found in other parts of the world, likely due to migration and the spread of French culture and influence. However, its origins can be traced back to the regions of Normandy and Île-de-France in France, where it first emerged as a descriptive surname in the 16th century.
