The history of the last name St. Jules

The surname STJULES has its origins in the French language and can be traced back to the medieval period, specifically around the 12th century. It is believed to have originated in the northern regions of France, particularly in the areas surrounding Paris.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the name STJULES can be found in the Cadastre de Beauvais, a medieval land registry compiled in the late 13th century. This document lists several families with variations of the name, such as "St. Jules" and "Saintjulles."

The name STJULES is derived from the Old French phrase "saint Jules," which translates to "Saint Julius" in English. This suggests that the name may have initially been associated with individuals who lived near a church or settlement dedicated to Saint Julius, a 4th-century martyr and patron saint of Duisburg, Germany.

During the 14th century, the name STJULES appeared in various historical records across northern France, including tax rolls and parish registers. One notable bearer of the name was Robert STJULES, a merchant and landowner from Amiens, who was born in 1327 and died in 1395.

As the name spread across Europe, it encountered various spellings and regional variations. In England, for instance, the name was sometimes rendered as "St. Jules" or "Sinjules," while in Germany, it took the form of "Sanktjulius."

Another prominent individual with the surname STJULES was Jean STJULES, a French nobleman and military commander who participated in the Hundred Years' War. Born in 1389, he fought alongside Joan of Arc and played a crucial role in the siege of Orléans in 1429.

The name STJULES also found its way to the New World, with several bearers of the name documented in early colonial records. One such individual was Pierre STJULES, a French settler who arrived in Quebec, Canada, in the mid-17th century and established a successful fur trading business.

In the 19th century, the name STJULES gained recognition through the works of French writer and poet Charles STJULES (1819-1890), whose poignant verses chronicled the struggles and triumphs of rural life in his native Normandy.

Lastly, it is worth mentioning Auguste STJULES (1867-1945), a pioneering French architect who played a significant role in the revival of the Art Nouveau style. His most notable works include the iconic Lavirotte building in Paris and the Grand Hotel in Monte Carlo.
