The history of the last name Aubuchon

The surname AUBUCHON has its origins in France, dating back to the early Middle Ages. It is believed to have derived from the Old French word "aubuisson," which means "hawthorn bush" or "bramble." This suggests that the name may have been initially given to someone who lived near or worked with hawthorn bushes or brambles.

The earliest recorded instances of the AUBUCHON surname can be traced back to the region of Normandy in northern France. During the 11th and 12th centuries, the name appears in various historical documents and records from this area, often spelled as "Aubusson" or "Aubuchon."

One notable historical reference to the AUBUCHON name is found in the Domesday Book, a comprehensive survey of land ownership and taxation commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. The name is recorded as "Albuciun," which is likely an early spelling variation of AUBUCHON.

In the 13th century, a prominent figure named Jacques AUBUCHON (c. 1220-1285) was a renowned nobleman and landowner in the region of Brittany, France. His descendant, Jean AUBUCHON (1325-1397), was a respected knight who fought alongside King Charles V during the Hundred Years' War.

During the 16th century, the AUBUCHON family expanded its influence, and several members achieved notable positions. Pierre AUBUCHON (1490-1562) was a respected lawyer and magistrate in Paris, while his son, François AUBUCHON (1525-1593), served as a trusted advisor to King Henry IV.

Another prominent figure with the AUBUCHON surname was Marie AUBUCHON (1635-1702), a pioneering settler in New France (present-day Canada). She and her husband, Pierre Boucher, were among the first colonists to establish a settlement in the region now known as Quebec.

Over the centuries, the AUBUCHON name has been associated with various places and regions, including the village of Aubuchon in the Normandy region of France, as well as several towns and villages in Quebec, Canada, where descendants of the early French settlers established new communities.
