The history of the last name Judie

The surname JUDIE has its origins in medieval France, dating back to the 12th century. It is believed to be a variant spelling of the French name "Judée" or "Judieu," derived from the Old French word "Judieu," meaning "Jew." This name was likely assigned as an ethnic identifier or occupational surname for Jews living in France during that time period.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the JUDIE surname can be found in the Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Saint-Victor de Marseille, a medieval manuscript dating back to 1192, which mentions a "Petrus Judee." This suggests that the name was already in use in the Provence region of southern France by the late 12th century.

In the 13th century, the JUDIE surname appeared in various records across France, including the Trésor des Chartes, a collection of royal charters and documents. One notable entry from 1258 mentions a "Guillelmus Judee" from the Île-de-France region.

During the Middle Ages, the JUDIE name was often associated with Jewish communities in France, particularly in the northern regions of Normandy and Picardy. However, it is important to note that not all individuals with this surname were necessarily of Jewish descent, as some may have adopted the name for other reasons.

One prominent historical figure bearing the JUDIE surname was Nicolas Judie (c. 1500-1580), a French painter and sculptor from the city of Troyes. He is best known for his work on the Cathedral of Troyes and the Church of Saint-Pantaléon in the same city.

Another notable individual was Jean Judie (1580-1645), a French mathematician and astronomer from the town of Gien. He made significant contributions to the study of celestial mechanics and was a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris.

In the 17th century, the JUDIE surname appeared in various regions of France, including Burgundy, where a family of wine merchants bearing this name was documented in the town of Beaune.

The surname JUDIE also has a connection to the place name "Juaye," a small village in the department of Calvados in Normandy. This may suggest that some individuals with the JUDIE surname originated from or had ties to this particular location.

Throughout history, other notable individuals with the JUDIE surname include Étienne Judie (1762-1829), a French mathematician and educator from Marseille, and François Judie (1805-1872), a French botanist and horticulturist from the town of Brest.
