The history of the last name Jubenville

Historically, many surnames were derived from occupations, locations, or personal characteristics. In this case, Jubenville likely referred to an individual or family who resided in a settlement known for its saffron trade or cultivation.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Jubenville can be found in the Livre Terrier de Philippe-Auguste, a medieval French land register dating back to the late 12th century. This document mentions a certain "Raoul de Jubenville" who held lands in the region of Normandy.

During the 14th century, a branch of the Jubenville family settled in the Île-de-France region, where they became prosperous landowners. Notable members include Jean de Jubenville (1325-1392), a knight who fought alongside King Charles VI during the Hundred Years' War.

In the 16th century, the Jubenville family gained prominence in the town of Rouen, where they were involved in the textile trade. One notable figure was Pierre Jubenville (1520-1587), a wealthy merchant and philanthropist who funded the construction of a hospital for the poor.

As the name spread throughout France, it also underwent various spelling variations, such as Jubainville, Jubinville, and Jubainvilliers, reflecting regional dialects and linguistic evolution.
