The history of the last name DeLarge

The surname DELARGE is believed to have originated in France during the Middle Ages. The name is thought to derive from the Old French words "de" meaning "from" and "large" meaning "broad" or "wide." This suggests that the name may have initially referred to someone who lived near a wide expanse of land or a broad area.

One of the earliest recorded references to the name DELARGE can be found in the Domesday Book, a historical record compiled in 1086 by order of William the Conqueror. The entry mentions a landowner named Robertus Delarge in the county of Normandy, France.

During the 13th century, the name DELARGE appeared in various charters and legal documents in the region of Picardy, northern France. For instance, a certain Jacques DELARGE was recorded as a landowner in the village of Amiens in 1265.

In the 15th century, the name DELARGE began to spread beyond France's borders. One notable figure was Pierre DELARGE, a French merchant and explorer who established trade routes in the Mediterranean region. He was born in Marseille in 1423 and died in 1498.

Another prominent individual bearing the DELARGE name was Marie DELARGE, a French noblewoman and patron of the arts. She was born in 1520 in the Champagne region and is known for commissioning several works of art and literature during the Renaissance period.

In the 17th century, the DELARGE name found its way to England, likely through French immigrants or Huguenot refugees. One of the earliest recorded instances in England was that of Claude DELARGE, a French Huguenot who settled in London in 1685.

Other notable figures with the DELARGE surname include Jean-Baptiste DELARGE, a French military officer who fought in the Napoleonic Wars (1769-1815), and Louis DELARGE, a renowned French architect who designed several notable buildings in Paris during the 19th century (1792-1864).
