The history of the last name Loubriel

The surname LOUBRIEL is believed to have originated in France, likely in the northern regions near the border with Belgium. It first emerged in the late medieval period, around the 14th or 15th century. The name is thought to derive from a combination of Old French words, possibly "lou" meaning "wolf" and "briel" meaning a small wooded area or thicket. This suggests the name may have referred to someone who lived near a densely forested area inhabited by wolves.

One of the earliest known records of the LOUBRIEL name appears in a 1487 census record from the village of Auchy-les-Mines in northern France. The entry lists a Jacques LOUBRIEL as a resident of the village at that time. In the 16th century, the name is found in church records from the town of Arras, also in northern France, where a Marie LOUBRIEL was born in 1534.

By the 17th century, variations of the name began to appear, such as LOUBRIELL and LOUBRIEAU. These alternate spellings may have been influenced by regional dialects or scribal errors in record-keeping. A notable bearer of the name from this era was Pierre LOUBRIEL, a merchant and landowner from the town of Douai, who lived from 1625 to 1692.

As the centuries progressed, the LOUBRIEL name spread throughout France and eventually to other parts of Europe and the Americas. In the 18th century, a Jean-Baptiste LOUBRIEL was a respected physician in Paris, practicing from 1740 until his death in 1782. Around the same time, a family by the name of LOUBRIEL settled in the French colony of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti), where they established a successful coffee plantation.

In the 19th century, a notable figure was Émile LOUBRIEL, a French novelist and poet born in 1828 in Lille. His works, while not widely renowned today, were praised by contemporaries for their vivid descriptions of rural life in northern France. Émile LOUBRIEL died in 1901 at the age of 73.

Another individual of note was Léon LOUBRIEL, a French military officer who served in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871. Born in 1845, he was awarded the Légion d'Honneur for his bravery in battle and later wrote a memoir detailing his experiences during the war.
