The history of the last name Choute

The surname "CHOUTE" is believed to have its origins in France, likely dating back to the 16th or 17th century. It is thought to be derived from an old French word "choute," which referred to a type of small, flat bread or cake. This suggests that the name may have been an occupational surname given to a baker or someone who made or sold this particular type of bread.

The earliest recorded instances of the name "CHOUTE" can be found in various parish records and local directories from regions such as Normandy and Brittany in northern France. Some of the earliest known individuals with this surname include Jacques CHOUTE, a baker from Rouen who was born around 1610, and Marie CHOUTE, a resident of Caen in the late 1600s.

In the 18th century, the name "CHOUTE" began to appear in records from other parts of France, indicating that families with this surname had started to migrate and settle in different regions.

As the name spread beyond France, it also underwent various spelling variations and adaptations. In England, for example, it was sometimes recorded as "CHOWTE" or "CHOUT," while in other parts of Europe, variations like "CHOUTEN" or "CHOUTIER" were found.

One of the earliest known instances of the name "CHOUTE" in the United States can be traced back to the late 18th century, when Pierre CHOUTE, a French immigrant, settled in Louisiana and became a prominent figure in the local community.
