The history of the last name Caillouette

The surname CAILLOUETTE has its origins in France, tracing back to the Middle Ages around the 13th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old French word "caillou," meaning a small pebble or stone. The suffix "-ette" was commonly added to French surnames during that era, indicating a diminutive form or a smaller version of something.

The earliest recorded instances of the surname CAILLOUETTE can be found in historical records from the Normandy region of northern France. This area was known for its rocky terrain and abundance of small pebbles, which likely contributed to the name's derivation. Some variations in spelling include Caillouette, Caillou, and Cailloux.

In the 14th century, a nobleman named Jean CAILLOUETTE was mentioned in a manuscript detailing the Battle of Crécy, fought between the English and the French during the Hundred Years' War. This provides evidence of the name's existence and usage during that period.

During the 16th century, a prominent figure named Pierre CAILLOUETTE (1498-1567) was a French Protestant theologian and reformer who played a significant role in the Protestant Reformation movement in France. He published several influential theological works and was instrumental in spreading Protestant teachings.

Another notable individual with this surname was Marie-Anne CAILLOUETTE (1724-1803), a French noblewoman and landowner from the Champagne region. Historical records indicate that she inherited vast estates and vineyards, making her one of the wealthiest landowners in the area during her lifetime.

In the 18th century, a famous French explorer and navigator, Louis-Antoine de CAILLOUETTE (1733-1801), led several expeditions to the Pacific Ocean and mapped several islands in the region. His voyages and cartographic contributions were significant during that era of exploration.

The surname CAILLOUETTE can also be traced back to various place names in France, such as Cailloux-sur-Fontaine, a small village in the Rhône-Alpes region, and Caillou, a hamlet in the Normandy region.
