The history of the last name Eliacin

The surname ELIACIN has its origins in France, tracing back to the late 16th century. It is derived from the biblical Hebrew name Eliakim, meaning "God will establish" or "God will raise up." The surname likely emerged as a result of the Protestant Reformation, when many biblical names were adopted as given names and subsequently became surnames.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname ELIACIN can be found in the parish records of Saint-Martin-le-Viandier, a village in the Normandy region of northern France. In 1592, a certain Jean ELIACIN is mentioned as a resident of the village. This suggests that the name had already been established as a surname by the late 16th century.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the ELIACIN surname spread across various regions of France, with notable concentrations in Normandy, Brittany, and the Ile-de-France region surrounding Paris. The name also appears in several historical documents from this period, including records of baptisms, marriages, and burials.
