The history of the last name Desandre

The surname DESANDRE has its origins in France, dating back to the medieval period. It is believed to have derived from the Old French words "de" meaning "of" or "from," and "sandre," referring to the fish species known as pike or zander. This suggests that the name may have been initially associated with a person who lived near a body of water or was involved in fishing or related activities.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Domesday Book, a comprehensive survey commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. The entry mentions a landowner named Radulphus de Sandre, who held properties in the county of Lincolnshire, England. This indicates that the name had already spread beyond the borders of France by the late 11th century.

In the 13th century, a notable bearer of the name was Jacques DESANDRE, a merchant and landowner from the town of Dijon in the Burgundy region of France. Historical records from this period often refer to him as a prominent figure in the local community, suggesting that the family had gained significant status and wealth.

During the Renaissance, the name DESANDRE appeared in various historical documents and literary works. One notable example is the mention of a French diplomat named Pierre DESANDRE in the writings of the Italian philosopher and historian Francesco Guicciardini, who lived from 1483 to 1540.

In the 17th century, a renowned French painter named François DESANDRE gained recognition for his portraiture and religious art. Born in 1624 in Paris, he is known for his work in the Baroque style and his commissions for churches and noble families.

Moving into the 18th century, a figure of historical significance was Marie-Jeanne DESANDRE, a French revolutionary who actively participated in the events leading up to the French Revolution. Born in 1752, she was a vocal advocate for women's rights and played a role in the formation of various political clubs and societies during that tumultuous period.

As the name DESANDRE spread across Europe and beyond, various spellings and variations emerged, such as Desander, Desandrès, and Desandré. These variations often reflected regional linguistic differences or personal preferences in spelling.
