The history of the last name Mariche

The surname MARICHE originates from the French language and first appeared in the Loire Valley region of central France during the Middle Ages. It is likely derived from the Old French word "mariche," meaning "marshy" or "swampy," suggesting that the name's bearers may have lived in or near wetlands or marsh areas.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the MARICHE surname can be found in the Livre des Bourgeois de Rouen, a 13th-century document listing the citizens of Rouen, Normandy. The name is spelled "Mariche" in this record, indicating its long-standing presence in northern France.

The MARICHE name has also been documented in various historical records from the Loire Valley region, such as the Cartulaire de l'Abbaye de Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, a collection of charters and deeds from the 11th to 13th centuries. This suggests that the name was well-established in this area during the medieval period.

Interestingly, the MARICHE surname may have connections to specific place names in France. For instance, the village of Marché in the department of Nièvre, which could be related to the name's origins as a descriptor of marshy or swampy areas.

5. Émile MARICHE (1832 - 1901), a French architect and urban planner from Lyon, who designed several notable public buildings and contributed to the city's urban development in the late 19th century.
