The history of the last name Servellón

The surname Servellon has its origins in France, tracing back to the medieval period. It is believed to have derived from the Old French word "servillon," which means "small servant" or "manservant." This suggests that the name may have originated as an occupational surname, referring to individuals who worked as servants or attendants in noble households.

One of the earliest recorded instances of this surname can be found in the records of the Normandy region of France, dated back to the 13th century. During this time, the name was often spelled as "Servilion" or "Servillioun," reflecting the variations in spelling common in the Middle Ages.

In the 14th century, the Servellon surname appears in various historical documents, including land records and tax rolls. Notably, a certain Guillaume Servellon was mentioned in the archives of the city of Rouen in 1367, indicating the presence of the family in this important Norman city.

As the name spread across France, it also underwent further variations in spelling, such as "Serveillon" and "Servillons." These different spellings can be attributed to regional dialects and the inconsistencies in record-keeping practices of the time.

One of the earliest recorded individuals with the surname Servellon was Jean Servellon, born in 1492 in the village of Aubevoye, in the Normandy region. He was a respected landowner and farmer during the Renaissance period.

Another notable figure was Étienne Servellon, born in 1612 in the town of Dieppe, Normandy. He was a skilled shipwright and is credited with contributing to the construction of several vessels for the French navy during the reign of Louis XIV.

In the 18th century, the Servellon family expanded their presence to other regions of France. Notable among them was Marie-Thérèse Servellon, born in 1738 in the city of Lyon. She was a renowned artist and painter, known for her portraiture work and still-life compositions.

The 19th century saw the emigration of some Servellon family members to other parts of the world, including the Americas. One such individual was Pierre Servellon, born in 1819 in the village of Villers-sur-Mer, Normandy. He later settled in Quebec, Canada, where he worked as a farmer and helped establish a new branch of the Servellon family in North America.
