The history of the last name LaBombard

The surname LABOMBARD has its origins in France, dating back to the medieval period. It is thought to have derived from the Old French word "bombard," which referred to a type of cannon or artillery piece used in warfare during that era. This suggests that the name may have originally been an occupational surname, given to individuals involved in the manufacture or operation of such weapons.

The earliest known records of the LABOMBARD name can be traced back to the 13th century in the northern regions of France, particularly in the areas around Paris and Normandy. Some of the earliest documented spellings include "Le Bombard," "Bombarde," and "Bombardi."

In the 14th century, the surname appears in various historical documents and records, including tax rolls and land registries. One notable figure was Jean LABOMBARD, a renowned artilleryman who served under King Charles VI of France during the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453). His skills in operating bombards were highly regarded, and he played a crucial role in several battles against the English forces.

As the LABOMBARD family spread across France, regional variations in spelling emerged, such as "Labombarde" and "Labombarde." Some branches of the family adopted the name as a place of origin, such as "LABOMBARD de Normandie" or "LABOMBARD de Picardie."

In the 16th century, a prominent member of the LABOMBARD family was Pierre LABOMBARD (1520-1589), a nobleman and military commander who fought in the French Wars of Religion. He was known for his bravery and leadership on the battlefield and was awarded several honors for his service.

Another notable figure was Jacques LABOMBARD (1670-1745), a renowned architect and engineer who contributed to the design and construction of several notable buildings and fortifications across France during the reign of Louis XIV.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, the LABOMBARD name continued to be associated with various professions, including military service, engineering, and architecture. One notable figure from this period was François LABOMBARD (1785-1862), a highly skilled artillery officer who served in Napoleon's armies and participated in several major campaigns, including the Napoleonic Wars.

Throughout its history, the LABOMBARD surname has maintained a strong connection to its origins, reflecting the family's involvement in military affairs and the development of artillery and weaponry.
