The history of the last name Jeanmarie

The surname JEANMARIE is of French origin, originating in the late 16th or early 17th century. It is a combination of the French given names Jean and Marie, reflecting the common practice of combining parent's names to form a surname. The name likely emerged in regions of northern France where the use of double given names as surnames was prevalent.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the JEANMARIE surname appears in the Parish records of Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Montréal, Canada, dated 1642. This entry refers to a Jacques JEANMARIE, born to French settlers in the colony of New France. The surname's presence in these early colonial records suggests it may have roots among French emigrants to North America during this period.

In 17th century France, the JEANMARIE name can be found in various regional records, such as the census rolls of Normandy and Brittany. Some variants like JEANMARIE, JEHANMARIE, and JEANNEMARIE also appeared, reflecting regional dialect variations in spelling and pronunciation.

One notable bearer of the JEANMARIE surname was François JEANMARIE (1677-1754), a French composer and organist from Versailles. His works include numerous motets and organ pieces composed for the royal chapel of Louis XIV.

Another early record is that of Pierre JEANMARIE (1691-1763), a merchant and landowner from the town of Dieppe in Normandy. Local histories mention his substantial holdings and involvement in the regional textile trade.

In the 19th century, Etienne JEANMARIE (1822-1891) was a prominent banker and financier from Lyon. He helped establish several major financial institutions and served on the board of the Banque de France.

Marie JEANMARIE (1856-1934) was a French painter and printmaker associated with the Impressionist movement. Though lesser known than her contemporaries, her works depicting scenes of rural Normandy received critical acclaim during her lifetime.

As the surname spread beyond France through emigration, we find examples like Louis JEANMARIE (1910-1982), a Canadian politician who served as a member of parliament representing a district in Quebec for over two decades.
