The history of the last name Auguillard

The surname Auguillard originates from France, specifically the region of Normandy. It first emerged in the 11th century, derived from the Old French word "aguillard," meaning "alert" or "vigilant." This name was likely given as a nickname to someone with keen senses or a watchful demeanor.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Auguillard name can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, a survey commissioned by William the Conqueror to record landholdings in England. The entry mentions a landowner named Robertus Aguillardus, suggesting the name had already been established in Normandy before the Norman Conquest.

During the Middle Ages, the name appeared in various spellings, such as Aguilhard, Aguillart, and Aguillarde, reflecting regional dialects and the evolution of the French language over time. In the 13th century, a notable figure named Jean Aguillard was a prominent cleric and academic in Paris, serving as a canon of the Notre-Dame Cathedral.

As the Auguillard family spread throughout France, they often adopted place names as part of their surnames. For instance, the Auguillard de Montfort branch hailed from the town of Montfort-sur-Risle in Normandy, while the Auguillard d'Orléans lineage originated from the city of Orléans.

In the 16th century, Jacques Auguillard (1510-1587) was a renowned French jurist and legal scholar who served as a judge in the Parlement of Paris. His treatises on civil law and legal procedures were highly influential during the Renaissance period.

Another notable bearer of the name was Marie-Louise Auguillard (1674-1753), a French Catholic nun and educator who founded several schools and convents in Paris. She was known for her dedication to the education of young women from underprivileged backgrounds.

The Auguillard name also found its way to other parts of Europe, particularly during the Huguenot diaspora in the 17th century. Johann Auguillard (1638-1701), a Protestant minister from France, settled in Germany and became a prominent figure in the Reformed Church of Hanau.

Throughout the centuries, the Auguillard surname has been carried by individuals from various walks of life, including artists, scholars, military officers, and merchants. While the name may have evolved in spelling and pronunciation over time, its origins can be traced back to the vigilant and alert individuals of Normandy in the Middle Ages.
