The history of the last name Desloge

The surname DESLOGE originated in France, specifically in the region of Burgundy, during the Middle Ages. It is derived from the Old French phrase "des loges," which translates to "from the lodges" or "from the huts." This suggests that the name may have been associated with people who lived in or near lodges or small dwellings in rural areas.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the DESLOGE name can be found in the 14th century, when a man named Jean Desloge was mentioned in a document from the village of Chenôve, near Dijon, in 1365. This document was a land registry, indicating that the Desloge family may have been landowners or farmers in the region.

In the 16th century, the DESLOGE name appeared in the town of Beaune, also in Burgundy. A notable figure from this time was Pierre Desloge (1520-1588), a wealthy merchant and vintner who owned several vineyards in the area. His descendants continued the family's involvement in the wine trade for several generations.

During the 17th century, the DESLOGE name spread to other parts of France, including the regions of Champagne and Lorraine. One prominent individual from this era was Jacques Desloge (1625-1697), a military officer who served in the French army during the reign of Louis XIV.

In the 18th century, a branch of the DESLOGE family settled in the city of Metz, in northeastern France. A notable figure from this period was François Desloge (1745-1825), a lawyer and politician who served as a magistrate and later became the mayor of Metz during the French Revolution.

The 19th century saw several members of the DESLOGE family emigrate to the United States, particularly to the state of Missouri. One of the earliest and most successful immigrants was Firmin Rene Desloge (1823-1892), who arrived in St. Louis in the 1840s and went on to establish a successful lead mining and smelting business. His son, Joseph Desloge (1858-1930), continued to expand the family's business interests and became a prominent industrialist and philanthropist in the region.

Throughout its history, the DESLOGE surname has been associated with various occupations, including farming, winemaking, military service, law, and industry. While the name originated in the rural areas of Burgundy, it eventually spread to other parts of France and even to the United States, where it became closely linked with the mining and manufacturing industries in the Midwest.
