The history of the last name Mondelus

The surname MONDELUS has its origins in France, dating back to the medieval period. It is believed to have derived from the Old French words "mond" meaning "world" and "elus" meaning "chosen" or "elected." This suggests that the name may have been given to someone who was considered worldly or had been elected or chosen for a particular role or position.

Some of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in historical documents from the 13th century in the region of Normandy, where it was spelled variations such as "Mondelu" and "Mondeluz." This indicates that the name may have originated in this area of northern France.

In the 14th century, a record of a Jehan Mondelus appears in the tax rolls of the city of Rouen, suggesting that the name was already well-established in the region by that time.

As the name spread throughout France, it was sometimes associated with certain place names or locations. For instance, there was a small village called Mondelus in the Auvergne region, which may have influenced the spelling and pronunciation of the surname in that area.
