The history of the last name Pérodin

The surname PERODIN is of French origin, originating in the northern regions of France during the Middle Ages. It is believed to have derived from the Old French words "pere" meaning father, and "odyn" which is a diminutive form of a personal name such as Odo or Eudes. Thus, PERODIN likely referred to the son of someone named Odo or a similar name.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the PERODIN name can be found in the Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Saint-Père de Chartres, a 12th-century manuscript from the Abbey of Saint-Père in Chartres, France. This document mentions a "Petrus Perodin" who was a landowner in the region.

In the 13th century, the name appears in various records from the Normandy region of France. A notable example is Guillelmus Perodin, a knight who participated in the Seventh Crusade under King Louis IX in 1248.

By the 14th century, the PERODIN name had spread to other parts of France, with records showing individuals bearing the name in regions such as Burgundy and Picardy. One notable figure from this time was Jean PERODIN, a merchant from Dijon who lived from around 1340 to 1410.

In the 15th century, the PERODIN name appears in connection with several villages and hamlets in northern France, suggesting that it may have been associated with specific places. For instance, the village of Perodin-le-Petit in the Pas-de-Calais region is thought to have derived its name from a PERODIN family that resided there.

During the Renaissance period, a notable figure with the PERODIN surname was François PERODIN, a French painter and engraver who lived from approximately 1550 to 1620. His works were commissioned by several noble families and can be found in various art collections across Europe.
