The history of the last name Juillerat

The surname JUILLERAT is of French origin, originating in the Franche-Comté region of eastern France around the 14th century. It is derived from the Old French word "juille," meaning "July," and likely referred to someone born or associated with that particular month.

The earliest recorded instances of the JUILLERAT name can be traced back to the medieval village of Vuillafans in the Doubs department of Franche-Comté. The name appeared in various municipal records and local documents from the late 1300s onwards, sometimes spelled as "Juillierat" or "Juillerat."

In the 15th century, a notable figure bearing the JUILLERAT surname was Jean JUILLERAT, a skilled blacksmith who resided in the town of Ornans. His work was highly regarded, and he crafted tools and implements for local farmers and artisans.

During the 16th century, the JUILLERAT family expanded their presence throughout the Franche-Comté region, with several branches settling in neighboring villages such as Montbenoit and Pontarlier. One prominent member of the family was Pierre JUILLERAT (1534-1601), a respected merchant and landowner in Montbenoit.

In the 17th century, the JUILLERAT name gained further recognition when Jacques JUILLERAT (1612-1684), a talented luthier from Pontarlier, became renowned for his expertly crafted violins and other stringed instruments. His instruments were highly prized by local musicians and noblemen.

The 18th century saw the JUILLERAT family spread beyond the borders of Franche-Comté. Étienne JUILLERAT (1738-1812), a prosperous wine merchant, relocated to the city of Lyon, where he established a successful business exporting wines to other parts of France and Europe.

Throughout the 19th century, the JUILLERAT surname continued to be present in various regions of France, with notable individuals such as Émile JUILLERAT (1845-1920), a prominent lawyer and political figure from Besançon, and Marguerite JUILLERAT (1862-1932), a celebrated writer and poet from Montbéliard.

As the centuries passed, the JUILLERAT name has been carried across borders and continents by descendants of the original French families.
