The history of the last name Jeanquart

The surname JEANQUART is of French origin, dating back to the Middle Ages in northern France and Belgium. It is believed to have derived from the Old French words "jean" and "quart," possibly referring to a quarter or district of a town or village where Jean (a common French name) resided.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the JEANQUART surname is found in the 13th-century cartulary of the Abbey of Saint-Amand in Flanders, where a certain Willelmus Jeanquart is mentioned as a landowner. This suggests that the name was already established in the region by that time.

In the 14th century, the name appears in various records from the Duchy of Burgundy, which encompassed parts of modern-day eastern France and Belgium. The town of Jeanquart (or Janquart), located in the Somme department of France, may have played a role in the dissemination of this surname.

Notable individuals bearing the JEANQUART surname include Jean-Baptiste Jeanquart (1644-1707), a French composer and organist who served at the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris. Another prominent figure was Pierre Jeanquart (1778-1849), a Belgian lawyer and politician who served as the mayor of Ghent during the Dutch period.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the JEANQUART name can be found in various parish registers and census records from the Picardy and Nord-Pas-de-Calais regions of northern France, as well as in parts of modern-day Belgium. Variations in spelling, such as Jenquart, Janquart, and Jancart, were common during this period.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the JEANQUART surname in England dates back to the late 16th century, when a family of Huguenot refugees fleeing religious persecution in France settled in the city of Norwich. The name appears in the parish records of St. Giles and St. Peter Mancroft churches in Norwich during this time.

Other notable individuals with the JEANQUART surname include Émile Jeanquart (1824-1898), a Belgian architect known for his work on several churches and government buildings in Brussels, and Édouard Jeanquart (1843-1918), a French artist and painter from the town of Douai in northern France.
