The history of the last name Laframboise

The surname LAFRAMBOISE originates from France, specifically the northern regions of the country. It first appeared during the late medieval period, around the 13th or 14th century. The name is derived from the French words "la" meaning "the" and "framboise" meaning "raspberry", likely referring to someone who lived near a patch of raspberry bushes or worked with raspberries in some capacity.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the LAFRAMBOISE name can be found in a document from the Normandy region of France, dated 1327. This document mentions a landowner named Jean LAFRAMBOISE. Another early reference is from a tax record in the Picardy region, which lists a family with the surname LAFRAMBOISE in the town of Amiens in the year 1412.

In the 16th century, the LAFRAMBOISE name began to appear in various parish records and land registries across northern France, particularly in the regions of Normandy, Picardy, and Île-de-France. This suggests that the name had become more widespread by this time.

One notable individual with the LAFRAMBOISE surname was Nicolas LAFRAMBOISE (1560-1636), a merchant and landowner from the town of Rouen in Normandy. He is mentioned in several historical documents related to trade and property transactions during his lifetime.

Another prominent figure was Jeanne LAFRAMBOISE (1628-1701), a renowned midwife who practiced in the city of Paris. She is credited with delivering thousands of babies and training many other midwives during her career.

In the 18th century, a man named Pierre LAFRAMBOISE (1705-1778) gained recognition as a skilled architect and builder in the Île-de-France region. He was responsible for the construction of several notable churches and public buildings in and around Paris.

A famous military figure with the LAFRAMBOISE surname was General Charles LAFRAMBOISE (1792-1869), who served in the Napoleonic Wars and later became a respected military strategist and tactician.

During the 19th century, a French artist named Marie LAFRAMBOISE (1820-1888) gained recognition for her landscape paintings, which often depicted scenes from the countryside around her hometown in Picardy.

Over time, as individuals with the LAFRAMBOISE surname migrated to other parts of the world, the name became more widely dispersed.
