The history of the last name Liautaud

The surname LIAUTAUD originated in France, with its earliest recorded instances dating back to the 16th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old French word "lieut," meaning a lieutenant or second-in-command, combined with the suffix "-aud," which was commonly used to form surnames.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the LIAUTAUD name can be found in the archives of the town of Chalon-sur-Saône, in eastern France, where a certain Jean LIAUTAUD was documented as a merchant in the year 1587. This suggests that the name may have initially been associated with individuals holding minor administrative or military positions.

In the 17th century, the LIAUTAUD name appeared in various regions of France, including Burgundy, Franche-Comté, and the Île-de-France region surrounding Paris. During this period, the name was sometimes spelled as "Lieutaud" or "Liautault," reflecting regional variations in pronunciation and spelling conventions.

One notable bearer of the LIAUTAUD name was François LIAUTAUD (1616-1690), a French jurist and legal scholar who served as a magistrate in the Parlement of Dijon. His published works on jurisprudence and legal procedures were widely influential during his lifetime.

Another prominent figure was Pierre LIAUTAUD (1768-1832), a French Revolutionary who participated in the famous storming of the Bastille in 1789. He later served as a captain in the French Revolutionary Army and was awarded the Légion d'Honneur for his military service.

In the 19th century, the LIAUTAUD family established itself in the town of Chalon-sur-Saône, where they were involved in the wine and spirit trade. One member of this branch, Louis LIAUTAUD (1830-1909), became a successful businessman and was elected as the mayor of Chalon-sur-Saône in 1878.

Moving into the 20th century, André LIAUTAUD (1892-1976) was a notable French artist and sculptor who specialized in creating bronze statues and portrait busts. His works can be found in various museums and public spaces throughout France.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that the LIAUTAUD name has also been associated with the village of Liautaud, located in the department of Saône-et-Loire in eastern France.
