The surname PIERREANTOINE is of French origin, deriving from a combination of the masculine given names Pierre and Antoine. It likely emerged in the 12th or 13th century, during the rise of hereditary surnames in France.

The name's roots can be traced back to the Frankish and Germanic words "Petrus" and "Antonius," which were adopted into French as Pierre and Antoine, respectively. Pierre is derived from the Greek word "Petros," meaning "rock," while Antoine stems from the Roman family name "Antonius."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the PIERREANTOINE surname can be found in the Trésor de Recherches, a 13th-century manuscript documenting the names of landowners and noblemen in various French provinces. This suggests that the surname may have initially been borne by a person whose father or grandfather was named Pierre Antoine.

In the 14th century, a renowned French philosopher and theologian, Pierre d'Antoyne (c. 1330-1400), gained recognition for his scholarly works on metaphysics and logic. While his surname was slightly different, it likely shared a similar origin with PIERREANTOINE.

During the 16th century, a notable figure bearing the PIERREANTOINE surname was Claude Pierreantoine (1547-1612), a French architect and engineer who contributed to the design of several notable buildings in Paris, including the Pont Neuf and the Louvre Palace.

In the 18th century, Jacques PIERREANTOINE (1720-1789) was a French painter and engraver known for his intricate depictions of landscapes and architectural scenes. His works were widely admired and can be found in various art collections across Europe.

Another prominent individual with this surname was Louis PIERREANTOINE (1810-1875), a French military officer and politician who served as a deputy in the National Assembly during the Second French Empire.
