The history of the last name Druien

The surname DRUIEN has its origins in France, with the earliest known references dating back to the 12th century. It is believed to have originated from the Old French word "druie," which meant "mistress" or "lover," suggesting a possible connection to illegitimate birth or a romantic relationship outside of marriage.

In the northern regions of France, particularly in the areas around Normandy and Picardy, the name was often spelled as "Druyn" or "Druin" during the Middle Ages. These variations eventually evolved into the modern spelling of DRUIEN.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Cartulary of Saint-Martin de Pontoise, a collection of medieval manuscripts from the 12th century, where a certain "Radulfus Druin" is mentioned.

During the 13th century, the name appears in various historical records, including the 1260 census of the Duchy of Normandy, which lists a "Jehan Druien" among the residents of the village of Dieppe.

In the 14th century, a notable figure bearing the DRUIEN surname was Jacques Druien (c. 1320-1390), a French scholar and philosopher who authored several treatises on logic and metaphysics.

The 15th century saw the emergence of Jean Druien (1445-1514), a prominent merchant and financier from Lyons, who played a crucial role in the economic and political affairs of the city during his lifetime.

Throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, the DRUIEN name continued to be found in various regions of France, with several individuals making their mark in various fields. One such figure was Marie Druien (1570-1638), a renowned poet and playwright from Paris, whose works were widely celebrated during the Renaissance period.

In the 18th century, the DRUIEN name gained further recognition with the birth of Pierre-Jacques Druien (1725-1788), a French architect and urban planner who was instrumental in the redesign and renovation of several prominent buildings in Paris.

Moving into the 19th century, the DRUIEN surname was associated with notable figures such as Émile Druien (1810-1875), a French politician and statesman who served as a deputy in the National Assembly during the Second Republic.
