The history of the last name Exilhomme

The surname EXILHOMME is of French origin, believed to have originated in the northern regions of France during the medieval period, around the 12th or 13th century. The name is derived from the Old French words "exil" and "homme," which together translate to "exiled man" or "banished man."

The earliest known record of the EXILHOMME surname dates back to 1257, when a certain Jehan Exilhomme was mentioned in the archives of the city of Lille, in northern France. This suggests that the name may have originated in this region, possibly referring to someone who was exiled or banished from their homeland.

In the 14th century, the name appeared in various manuscripts and historical records across northern France, particularly in the regions of Normandy and Picardy. Some notable individuals bearing the EXILHOMME surname during this time include Robert Exilhomme, a merchant from Rouen (born c. 1325), and Gilles Exilhomme, a landowner from Amiens (born c. 1380).

As the name spread throughout France, variations in spelling emerged, such as Exilhomme, Exilhome, and Exilhom. These variations were often influenced by local dialects and the preferences of scribes who recorded the name in official documents.

One of the earliest notable figures with the EXILHOMME surname was Jean Exilhomme, a military commander who served under King Charles VII during the Hundred Years' War (born c. 1405). Another prominent individual was Pierre Exilhomme, a renowned scholar and theologian who taught at the University of Paris in the late 15th century (born c. 1450 - died c. 1520).

In the 16th century, the EXILHOMME name gained some prominence in the arts, with Jacques Exilhomme, a respected painter and engraver from Paris (born c. 1525 - died c. 1598). Additionally, there was Antoine Exilhomme, a playwright and poet from Lyon, whose works were performed in theaters across France (born c. 1560 - died c. 1620).

While the EXILHOMME surname has its roots in northern France, it eventually spread to other regions of the country and even beyond, as families migrated and settled in new areas. However, the name remains relatively uncommon, with most occurrences still concentrated in the northern regions of France where it originated.
