One of the earliest recorded instances of the name DELOSIER can be traced back to the 13th century in the region of Normandy, France. The name appeared in various medieval documents and records, such as the "Livre des Métiers" (Book of Trades) from Paris, which listed the occupations of the city's residents.

During the 14th and 15th centuries, the name DELOSIER began to spread across different regions of France, with variations in spelling like "Deslosier," "Delosiers," and "Delosyers." These variations reflect the phonetic adaptations of the name over time and in different local dialects.

In the 16th century, a notable figure named Jean DELOSIER (born around 1520) was a prominent merchant and landowner in the city of Lyon. His successful business ventures and land acquisitions contributed to the establishment of the DELOSIER family as a respected lineage in the region.

Another prominent individual bearing the surname DELOSIER was Marie DELOSIER (1675-1738), a French noblewoman known for her philanthropy and support of the arts. She was a patron of several artists and writers during the Enlightenment period.

The name DELOSIER also appeared in historical records related to the French Revolution. Pierre DELOSIER (1760-1821) was a revolutionary figure who participated in the storming of the Bastille and later served as a member of the National Convention.
