Origin
Meaning and origin of Luberisse
The surname LUBERISSE originated in the Normandy region of northern France during the early Middle Ages. It is believed to have derived from the Old French words "lu" meaning wolf and "berisse" meaning den or lair, possibly referring to a person who lived near a wolf's den or inhabited a remote, secluded area.
Records indicate that variations of the name, such as Luberisse, Luberisc, and Luberysse, appeared in various medieval documents and charters from the 11th to 13th centuries in Normandy. One of the earliest known references is found in the Dives-sur-Mer cartulary, a collection of legal records from the Benedictine abbey in Dives-sur-Mer, which mentions a Ricardus de Luberisse in 1162.
The name LUBERISSE can also be traced to the village of Lubersac in the Corrèze department of central France, which may have served as the place of origin for some bearers of the name. The Lubersac family held a prominent position in the region during the 12th and 13th centuries, with members such as Guillaume de Lubersac, a knight who participated in the Fourth Crusade (1202-1204).
In the late 13th century, the LUBERISSE name appeared in the Hundred Rolls, a census-like survey of landowners in England conducted during the reign of King Edward I. This record suggests that some bearers of the name may have migrated from Normandy to England following the Norman Conquest in 1066.
Notable historical figures with the LUBERISSE surname include Jean de Luberisse (c. 1320-1385), a French nobleman and military commander who fought in the Hundred Years' War, and Pierre Luberisse (c. 1450-1521), a renowned scholar and theologian at the University of Paris.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, the LUBERISSE name spread throughout France and into neighboring regions, with records showing individuals bearing the name in Brittany, Burgundy, and the Rhône-Alpes region. One notable figure from this period was Jacques Luberisse (1575-1647), a prominent merchant and landowner in the city of Lyon.
