The surname ETUE is of French origin, originating from the northern regions of the country during the late medieval period. It is derived from the old French word "estui," which means "case" or "container," likely referring to an occupation associated with the production or trade of such items.

The earliest known record of the name ETUE can be traced back to the 13th century, where it appears in various legal documents and property records from the regions of Normandy and Picardy. One notable mention is found in the Rôles de l'Échiquier de Normandie, a collection of administrative records from the Duchy of Normandy, dating back to the year 1268.

During the 14th century, the surname ETUE began to spread across other parts of northern France, particularly in the regions of Champagne and Île-de-France. This expansion coincided with the growth of trade and the establishment of guilds for various crafts, including those related to the production of cases and containers.

Another notable figure was Pierre Etue, a renowned bookbinder and case maker from Paris, who was active in the early 16th century and whose work is documented in several historical records from that era.

In the 17th century, the name ETUE gained prominence in the region of Burgundy, where several families bearing this surname established themselves as respected vintners and wine merchants. One such individual was Claude Etue, a renowned winemaker from the village of Meursault, who lived from 1625 to 1698.

The 18th century saw the emergence of several notable figures with the surname ETUE in the fields of academia and literature. One example is Jean-Baptiste Etue, a philosopher and writer born in 1720 in the town of Auxerre, who published several influential works on ethics and moral philosophy.

As the surname ETUE spread across France and into other parts of Europe, it underwent various spelling variations, including Etuet, Estuet, and Estue. These variations reflect the regional dialects and linguistic influences of the areas where the name was adopted.
