The history of the last name Jacquot

The surname JACQUOT originated in France during the Middle Ages. It is a diminutive form of the French given name Jacques, which was derived from the Latin name Jacobus, meaning "supplanter" or "one who grasps the heel." The suffix "-ot" was commonly added to names to create a diminutive or nickname form.

Historical records indicate that the JACQUOT name first appeared in the northern regions of France, particularly in the provinces of Normandy, Picardy, and Île-de-France. The earliest known bearers of the name were likely descendants of individuals who had adopted the nickname "Jacquot" as a way to distinguish themselves from others with the more common name Jacques.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the JACQUOT name can be found in the Livre des bourgeois de Rouen, a record of citizens in the city of Rouen, Normandy, dating back to the 14th century. This document lists several individuals with the surname JACQUOT, suggesting that the name was already established in the region by that time.

Over the centuries, the JACQUOT name has been associated with several notable individuals, including Jean JACQUOT (1512-1594), a French Catholic theologian and author, and Nicolas JACQUOT (1643-1708), a French Jesuit missionary who worked in China and is known for his contributions to the study of Chinese culture and language.

Another noteworthy bearer of the JACQUOT name was François JACQUOT (1771-1853), a French general who served in the Napoleonic Wars and fought in several major battles, including the Battle of Waterloo. He was awarded the Légion d'honneur for his military service.

The JACQUOT name has also been connected to various places in France, such as the village of Jacquots in the department of Eure-et-Loir, which likely derived its name from an early settler or landowner with the surname JACQUOT.

In the 19th century, a prominent figure with the JACQUOT name was Émile JACQUOT (1842-1901), a French painter known for his landscapes and genre scenes. His works were exhibited at the Paris Salon and can be found in several museums in France.

While the JACQUOT surname has its roots in France, it has since spread to other parts of the world due to migration and immigration patterns. However, the name remains strongly associated with its French origins and the rich cultural and historical significance it holds in that country.
