The history of the last name Labeaud

The surname LABEAUD has its origins in France, dating back to the 16th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old French words "la" meaning "the" and "beau" meaning "beautiful" or "handsome." The name may have initially referred to a person with an attractive or pleasing appearance.

LABEAUD is thought to have originated in the region of Poitou, situated in the western part of France. The name can be found in historical records from this area, such as parish registers and local archives. One of the earliest known instances of the name is in a document from the village of Fontenay-le-Comte, dated 1589, which mentions a Jacques LABEAUD.

The name appears to have spread beyond Poitou in the following centuries, with various spellings emerging, including Labeau, Labeault, and Labault. These variations likely resulted from regional dialectal influences and phonetic adaptations.

In the 17th century, the LABEAUD surname is mentioned in a manuscript from the town of Niort, where a Jean LABEAUD is listed as a merchant in 1645. This suggests that the name was well-established in the region by that time.

Notable individuals with the LABEAUD surname include Jean-Baptiste LABEAUD (1718-1798), a French architect who worked on several notable buildings in Paris, including the Palais-Royal and the Théâtre-Français.

Another prominent figure was Auguste LABEAUD (1801-1875), a French politician and lawyer who served as a deputy in the National Assembly during the Second Republic.

In the 19th century, Louis LABEAUD (1815-1892) was a celebrated French painter known for his landscapes and portraiture. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and exhibited his works at the prestigious Paris Salon.

Across the Atlantic, Pierre LABEAUD (1832-1907) was a French-Canadian businessman and landowner in Quebec, where he played a significant role in the development of the timber industry.

In more recent times, Marc LABEAUD (1938-2018) was a renowned French actor and director, best known for his performances in several films by director Robert Bresson, including "A Man Escaped" (1956) and "Pickpocket" (1959).
