The surname Jeanbart is of French origin, tracing its roots back to the medieval period in the northern regions of France, particularly in the areas around the city of Lille.

This name is derived from the Old French words "Jean" and "bart," with "Jean" being a common given name derived from the Hebrew name "Yohanan," meaning "Graced by God." The suffix "bart" is believed to have its origins in the Old German word "bard," referring to a poet or bard.

The earliest recorded instances of the name Jeanbart can be found in historical documents from the 13th century, such as the tax records and parish registers of the time. One notable mention of the name appears in the "Livre des Bourgeois de la Ville de Lille" (Book of Burgesses of the City of Lille), dated around 1280, which lists several individuals with the surname Jeanbart.

In the 14th century, the name Jeanbart gained prominence in the region, with several members of the family holding influential positions in the local community. One of the most notable figures was Jean Jeanbart, born in 1325, who served as a magistrate and alderman in the city of Lille.
