This connection suggests that the name may have initially been a nickname given to someone who was small in stature or perhaps a doll maker.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Poupart name can be found in the tax records of the city of Paris, dating back to the 14th century. These records mention several individuals with the surname Poupart, indicating that the name was already established in the region at that time.

Another significant individual with the Poupart surname was Marie-Madeleine Poupart (1720-1789), a French naturalist and botanist. She made important contributions to the study of plants and was recognized for her work by the French Academy of Sciences.

In the 18th century, the Poupart name can be found in various records from the Champagne region of France, where a family of winemakers and vineyard owners carried the surname.
