The history of the last name Noullet

The surname NOULLET has its origins in France, specifically in the northern region of Picardy. It first emerged during the late Middle Ages, around the 13th or 14th century. The name is believed to be derived from the Old French word "noulet," which referred to a small nut tree or a grove of nut trees.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name NOULLET can be found in a 14th-century document from the village of Noullette, located in the present-day department of Aisne, Picardy. This village likely took its name from the same root word, suggesting a connection between the surname and a place of residence or origin.

In the 16th century, a notable figure with the surname NOULLET was Jean Noullet, a French historian and writer born in Amiens, Picardy, in 1542. He is known for his work "Histoire des rois et ducs d'Aquitaine" (History of the Kings and Dukes of Aquitaine), published in 1604.

Another prominent individual with this surname was Pierre Noullet, a French painter and engraver active in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He was born in Paris in 1673 and is renowned for his landscape paintings and etchings depicting scenes from the countryside.

During the 18th century, a man named Nicolas Noullet (1718-1793) gained recognition as a French architect and engineer. He was born in Douai, a city in the historical province of Flanders (now part of France), and contributed to several notable architectural projects in the region.

In the 19th century, the French politician and writer Jules Noullet (1828-1899) made his mark. He was born in Rouen, Normandy, and served as a deputy in the French National Assembly, representing the department of Seine-Maritime.

Another notable figure was Émile Noullet (1854-1935), a French engineer and inventor who played a significant role in the development of early electrical systems and power transmission. He was born in Lille, in the northern region of France, and his work had a lasting impact on the field of electrical engineering.
