The history of the last name Nared

The surname Nared is believed to have originated in the region of Normandy in northern France. It is thought to have derived from the Old French word "narre," meaning "to narrate" or "to tell a story." This suggests that the name may have been given to someone who worked as a storyteller or bard in medieval times.

The earliest known record of the surname Nared can be traced back to the 12th century in the village of Argentan, located in the historical Duchy of Normandy. In a manuscript dated 1187, a man named Raoul Nared is mentioned as a local minstrel who entertained nobility with his tales and songs.

The Nared name also appears in the Domesday Book, a comprehensive survey of land ownership in England commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. This indicates that some individuals bearing the surname may have accompanied the Norman invaders to England during the Norman Conquest.

In the 14th century, a notable individual named Jacques Nared (1312-1389) was a renowned poet and troubadour who served at the court of King Edward III of England. His works, which celebrated courtly love and chivalry, were widely circulated among the aristocracy of the time.

Another prominent figure with the surname Nared was Jean Nared (1485-1562), a French historian and chronicler who documented the reigns of several French monarchs during the Renaissance period. His detailed accounts provide valuable insights into the politics and culture of 16th-century France.

During the 17th century, the Nared name was associated with a family of merchants and traders based in the port city of Marseille. One member, Pierre Nared (1620-1684), was a successful shipping magnate who established trade routes throughout the Mediterranean and beyond.

In more recent times, the surname Nared has been carried by individuals such as Émile Nared (1849-1927), a French artist known for his landscapes and portraiture, and Marie Nared (1876-1942), a pioneering feminist and social reformer who advocated for women's rights and education in France.
