The history of the last name Boursiquot

The surname Boursiquot originates from France, stemming from the early 17th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old French words "bourse" meaning "purse" and "quot" meaning "coin", suggesting a possible connection to an occupation or trade involving currency or finance.

One of the earliest known records of the Boursiquot name can be traced back to the year 1623, when a Pierre Boursiquot was mentioned in a parish register from the village of Auberive, located in the northeastern region of France. This area was known for its thriving textile and leather industries, which could have influenced the name's origins.

During the late 17th century, the name appears in several historical documents from the city of Troyes, a prominent center for trade and commerce in the Champagne region of France. It is possible that the Boursiquot family may have been involved in mercantile activities or banking during this time.

In the 18th century, a notable figure bearing the Boursiquot name was Jean-Baptiste Boursiquot (1701-1776), a renowned goldsmith and jeweler from Paris. His intricate craftsmanship and artistic designs were highly sought after by the French nobility and aristocracy.

Another prominent individual was Étienne Boursiquot (1783-1847), a successful merchant and entrepreneur from the city of Lille. He established a thriving textile business and was known for his philanthropic efforts, contributing to the development of educational institutions in the region.

The Boursiquot name also found its way across the Atlantic, as evidenced by the arrival of François Boursiquot in the French colony of Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti) in the late 1700s. He was a plantation owner and played a significant role in the island's agricultural economy.

In the 19th century, Marie-Louise Boursiquot (1812-1892) gained recognition as a celebrated artist and painter from the city of Lyon. Her works, often depicting scenes of everyday life and landscapes, were widely acclaimed and exhibited in various galleries across France.

Towards the end of the 19th century, the name Boursiquot appears in historical records from the region of Alsace, where a family of winemakers and vineyard owners bearing this surname was well-established. Their wines were highly regarded and exported to various parts of Europe.
