Origin
Meaning and origin of Dapremont
The surname DAPREMONT has its origins in France, dating back to the medieval period. It is derived from the Old French words "de" meaning "of" and "pre" meaning "meadow" or "field," combined with the word "mont" meaning "hill" or "mount." This suggests that the name likely originated as a geographic reference to a specific location, perhaps a meadow or field near a hill or mountain.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the DAPREMONT name can be found in the early 13th century, when a certain Geoffroy de Apremont was mentioned in various chronicles and documents from the region of Champagne in northeastern France. This individual was likely a member of the nobility or a landowner, as the use of the "de" prefix was common among the aristocracy of that era.
Another notable figure bearing the DAPREMONT surname was Jean d'Apremont, a French military commander who fought in the Hundred Years' War against the English in the 14th century. He was born around 1320 and served as a knight under the French king Charles V.
In the 15th century, the DAPREMONT name appeared in various legal and administrative records from the region of Lorraine, located in present-day northeastern France and western Germany. One such record mentions a certain Hubert Dapremont, who was involved in a land dispute in the year 1487.
During the Renaissance period, a notable figure with the DAPREMONT surname was François d'Apremont, a French poet and humanist scholar who lived from around 1540 to 1605. He was well-known for his translations of classical Greek and Latin texts, as well as his own poetic works.
In the 17th century, a member of the DAPREMONT family named Nicolas d'Apremont gained recognition as a skilled architect and engineer. He was born in 1630 and is credited with the design and construction of several notable buildings and fortifications in the region of Franche-Comté, located in eastern France.
Over the centuries, the DAPREMONT surname has undergone various spellings and variations, including Daprémont, Dapremonte, and Dapremant, reflecting the regional dialects and linguistic variations within France. However, the core meaning and geographic origins of the name have remained consistent throughout its long history.

When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers.
