The history of the last name Lamartinière

The surname LAMARTINIERE is of French origin, tracing its roots back to the late 16th century. It is believed to have originated in the region of Poitou, situated in western France. The name itself is derived from the Old French phrase "la martiniere," which referred to a small estate or farm owned by someone named Martin.

One of the earliest recorded references to the LAMARTINIERE surname can be found in the parish records of the town of Niort, located in the former province of Poitou. In 1598, a man named Jean LAMARTINIERE is mentioned as a landowner in the area. This suggests that the name was already established by that time.

Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, the LAMARTINIERE name appeared in various documents and records across different regions of France. One notable example is Jacques LAMARTINIERE, a merchant from La Rochelle who was born in 1675 and traded extensively with the French colonies in the Caribbean.

In the 19th century, Antoine-Alphonse LAMARTINIERE (1790-1869) gained recognition as a distinguished French lawyer and politician. He served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies and was a staunch advocate for civil liberties and constitutional reforms.

Another prominent figure bearing the LAMARTINIERE surname was Émile LAMARTINIERE (1825-1897), a French military officer who participated in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871. He was awarded the Légion d'Honneur for his bravery and leadership during the conflict.

The LAMARTINIERE name has also been associated with various place names in France, such as La Martinière, a commune in the department of Deux-Sèvres, and Les Martinières, a hamlet in the department of Indre. These place names likely derived from the same Old French phrase that gave rise to the surname.

Throughout its history, the LAMARTINIERE surname has been subject to various spelling variations, including Lamartiniere, La Martiniere, and Martinieres.
