The history of the last name Sabot

The surname "SABOT" has its origins in the French language and can be traced back to the 14th century in France. It is derived from the Old French word "sabot," which referred to a wooden shoe or clog worn by peasants and farmers.

The name is believed to have first appeared in the northern regions of France, particularly in the areas of Normandy and Picardy, where the shoe was commonly worn by rural populations. Early records from these regions show various spellings such as "Saboc," "Sabod," and "Sabott" before the modern spelling of "SABOT" became standardized.

One of the earliest documented references to the name can be found in the "Livre des Bourgeois de Rouen" (Book of the Bourgeois of Rouen), a census-like record from the city of Rouen in Normandy, dating back to the late 14th century. This document lists several individuals with the surname "Saboc" or variations thereof.

In the 17th century, the name appears in connection with a place name in the village of Sabotville, located in the Normandy region of France. This village likely derived its name from an early settler or landowner with the surname "SABOT."
