The history of the last name Juve

The surname JUVE is of French origin, tracing its roots back to the 12th century in the Normandy region of northern France. It is believed to derive from the Old French word "juif," meaning "Jew," which was likely used as a descriptive surname for individuals who were Jewish or had some connection to the Jewish community.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the JUVE surname can be found in the Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Redon, a medieval cartulary from Brittany, dated around 1160. This document mentions a certain "Robertus Juve," indicating the presence of the surname in that region during the High Middle Ages.

The JUVE name also appears in various other historical records from different parts of France over the centuries. In the 14th century, a document from the town of Dijon mentions a "Johannes Juve," while a 15th-century census record from the city of Lyon lists a "Pierre Juve" among its residents.

It is worth noting that the surname JUVE has undergone several spelling variations throughout its history, including Juif, Juiffe, and Juive. These alternate forms further reinforce the connection to the Old French word "juif" and its variants.

Several notable individuals have borne the JUVE surname over the centuries. One of the earliest was Jean Juve (c. 1440-1510), a French cleric and theologian who served as the Bishop of Avranches in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Another was Pierre Juve (1572-1645), a French jurist and legal scholar who authored several influential works on French law during the 17th century.

In the 19th century, Émile Juve (1825-1892) was a French architect responsible for designing several notable buildings in Paris, including the Palais du Trocadéro, which was constructed for the 1878 World's Fair. Later, in the early 20th century, Louis Juve (1887-1964) was a French film director and screenwriter who worked during the silent film era.
