The surname BOISROND originated in France, likely during the 16th or 17th century. It is derived from the French words "bois" meaning wood or forest, and "rond" meaning round or circular, suggesting a connection to a geographic feature, possibly a round or circular area of woodland.

One of the earliest recorded instances of this surname can be found in the parish records of Saint-Cyr-l'École, a commune in the Yvelines department of northern France, dating back to the late 17th century.

In the 18th century, a notable figure with this surname was Jean-Baptiste Boisrond (1704-1784), a French architect and engineer who worked on several prominent buildings in Paris, including the Palais de la Légion d'Honneur.

During the 19th century, the BOISROND surname spread beyond France as descendants of French immigrants carried the name to other parts of the world. One notable bearer was Edmond Boisrond (1825-1899), a Haitian diplomat and writer who served as the Minister Plenipotentiary of Haiti to France.

Another significant figure was Charles-François Boisrond (1856-1928), a French-Canadian lawyer and politician who served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Quebec and was instrumental in the establishment of the Quebec Bar Association.
