The history of the last name Juniel

The surname JUNIEL has its origins in France, dating back to the late 16th century. It is believed to have originated from the Old French word "junie," which referred to a young woman or girl. This name may have been initially used as a descriptive nickname for someone with a youthful or childlike appearance.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname JUNIEL can be found in a parish record from the village of Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer in Normandy, France, from the year 1598. The record mentions a certain Jean JUNIEL, who was a local landowner and farmer.

During the 17th century, the JUNIEL name began to spread beyond Normandy to other regions of France, such as Brittany and Poitou. In a historical document from 1642, a man named Pierre JUNIEL is mentioned as a merchant in the city of La Rochelle.

In the late 18th century, a notable figure bearing the JUNIEL surname was Jacques JUNIEL (1742-1810), who was a French Revolutionary soldier and military officer. He fought in several major battles during the French Revolutionary Wars and was awarded the Légion d'Honneur for his bravery and service.

Another historical figure with the JUNIEL surname was Marie-Thérèse JUNIEL (1784-1862), a French writer and poet from Lyon. She published several collections of poetry and was known for her romantic and introspective works.

Moving into the 19th century, a prominent individual with the JUNIEL name was Émile JUNIEL (1817-1892), a French politician and lawyer who served as a deputy in the National Assembly during the Third Republic.

In the early 20th century, a man named Henri JUNIEL (1888-1976) gained recognition as a French artist and sculptor. He was known for his intricate wood carvings and sculptures, many of which depicted scenes from rural life in France.

While the JUNIEL surname has its roots in France, it has since spread to other parts of the world, particularly through migration and intermarriage. However, its origins can be traced back to the Old French word "junie" and its earliest recorded instances in Normandy and other regions of France from the late 16th century onwards.
