The history of the last name Augustave

The surname "AUGUSTAVE" is believed to have originated in the French regions of Normandy and Brittany during the late medieval period, around the 13th or 14th century. It is thought to be derived from the Old French words "augst" and "ave," which roughly translate to "august" and "grandparent" or "ancestor." This suggests the name may have initially been a descriptive surname referring to an esteemed or venerable ancestor.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Saint-Martin de Pontoise, a 13th-century medieval charter from the Pontoise region of Normandy, which mentions an individual named "Radulphus Augustave." Another early record is from the Rôles de l'Échiquier de Normandie in 1298, which lists a "Johannes Augustave" from the town of Caen.

The name appears to have spread throughout northern France during the Middle Ages, with various spellings such as "Augstaive," "Augestave," and "Auguistave" appearing in different regional records. In the 16th century, the name is documented in the parish records of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris, with the baptism of a child named "Marguerite Augustave" in 1523.

One notable bearer of the name was Jacques Augustave (1567-1635), a French merchant and explorer who is credited with establishing one of the first French settlements in the Caribbean on the island of Saint Kitts in 1625. Another was Louise Augustave (1672-1748), a French noblewoman who served as a lady-in-waiting to Queen Marie Leczinska.

In England, the name appears to have been introduced during the Norman conquest, with various spelling variations such as "Augustaff" and "Augustaff." The Domesday Book of 1086 records a "Robertus Augustaff" as a landowner in Oxfordshire. Later records mention an "Edwardus Augustave" from Lincolnshire in the 13th century and a "Thomas Augustave" from Yorkshire in the 14th century.

Other notable bearers of the name include Jean-Baptiste Augustave (1759-1832), a French Revolutionary soldier who fought in the Napoleonic Wars, and Marie-Thérèse Augustave (1818-1898), a French novelist and playwright who wrote under the pen name "Madame de Sartilly."
