The history of the last name Tricoche

The surname Tricoche is believed to have originated in France, specifically in the northern region of Normandy, where it first emerged during the early medieval period, around the 11th or 12th century. The name is derived from the Old French word "tricot," which referred to a type of knitted fabric or garment, suggesting that the name may have been an occupational surname for someone who worked with knitted materials.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Dives-sur-Mer cartulary, a collection of medieval charters and records from the Benedictine abbey in Normandy, dating back to the early 12th century. The name is spelled in various forms, including "Tricoche," "Tricochel," and "Tricochez," reflecting the variations in spelling and pronunciation common in those times.

In the 13th century, a notable figure bearing the name Tricoche was Renaud Tricoche, a wealthy merchant and landowner from the town of Rouen. He is mentioned in several historical records from that period, including property transactions and legal documents.

During the 14th century, the name appears to have spread beyond Normandy, with records showing individuals named Tricoche in other regions of France, such as Burgundy and Ile-de-France. One such individual was Jean Tricoche, a prominent cleric and scholar who served as the canon of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris from 1367 to 1384.

In the 15th century, a notable figure was Étienne Tricoche, a successful vintner and landowner from the Burgundy region. He is mentioned in several historical documents related to wine production and land ownership in the area.

Another notable individual was Pierre Tricoche, a renowned architect and master builder who lived in the 16th century. He is credited with the design and construction of several notable buildings, including the Church of St-Maclou in Rouen, which is considered one of the finest examples of late Gothic architecture in France.

As the name spread across Europe in later centuries, it took on various spelling variations, such as "Tricoche," "Tricoshe," and "Trycoche." While the name has become less common in modern times, it remains a part of France's rich historical heritage, reflecting the diverse occupations and backgrounds of those who bore it throughout the centuries.
