The history of the last name Trochesset

The surname Trochesset originates from France, with its earliest known usage dating back to the 11th century. The name is believed to have derived from the Old French words "troche" and "set," which translates to "bundle" or "bundle of crops." This suggests that the Trochesset surname may have originated from an area known for its agricultural production or a family involved in farming activities.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Trochesset name can be found in the Domesday Book, a comprehensive record of landholdings and taxation commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. The entry mentions a landowner named Renaud Trochesset, who held property in the region of Normandy.

During the 13th century, the Trochesset name appeared in various records from the Picardy region of northern France. In 1248, a Jacques Trochesset is listed as a merchant in the town of Amiens. Additionally, a Jehan Trochesset is mentioned as a member of the local guild of weavers in the same town in 1276.

As the surname spread across France, variations in spelling began to emerge. Records from the 15th century show instances of the name being written as Trochessette, Trochesset, and Trochesat.

In the 17th century, a notable figure bearing the Trochesset name was Étienne Trochesset (1612-1681), a French philosopher and theologian who authored several works on metaphysics and the nature of the soul.

Another individual of note was Marie-Thérèse Trochesset (1729-1802), a French artist known for her intricate needlework and embroidery. Her works were highly sought after by wealthy patrons throughout Europe.

During the 19th century, a prominent member of the Trochesset family was Antoine Trochesset (1821-1897), a French politician who served as a member of the National Assembly and was an advocate for workers' rights and social reforms.

The Trochesset surname also made its way to other parts of Europe. In the late 18th century, a branch of the family settled in the German state of Bavaria, where the name was adapted to the spelling Trocheßet.

While the Trochesset surname has a rich history spanning several centuries, its origins can be traced back to the agricultural regions of northern France, where it likely originated as a descriptor for families involved in farming or crop cultivation.
