The history of the last name Elloie

The surname ELLOIE originated in the rural areas of northern France during the late medieval period, likely emerging in the 13th or 14th century. It is thought to have derived from a locational name, possibly referring to a small village or hamlet. The earliest known spelling was "Eloy," which may have roots in the Old French word "eloie," meaning a secluded or remote place.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the name can be found in the Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Saint-Père de Chartres, a collection of medieval charters from the Abbey of Saint-Père in Chartres, dated around 1275. The document refers to a certain "Jehan de Eloy," suggesting the name was already in use by that time.

In the 15th century, the ELLOIE name appeared in several historical records from the region of Normandy. A man named Guillaume ELLOIE was listed as a landowner in the village of Aumale in 1432. Similarly, a certain Robert ELLOIE was recorded as a resident of the town of Dieppe in 1467.

During the 16th century, the name began to spread across other parts of France. In 1538, a Nicolas ELLOIE was born in the city of Lyon, and later became a respected merchant and tradesman. Another notable figure was Jacques ELLOIE (1571-1634), a renowned scholar and theologian from Paris.

As the name continued to evolve, various spellings emerged, such as "Eloie," "Eloy," and "Elloye." One of the earliest recorded instances of the "ELLOIE" spelling can be found in the baptismal records of the parish of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris, which mention the birth of Marie ELLOIE in 1612.
