The history of the last name Valcin

The surname VALCIN originates from France, with its earliest recorded use dating back to the 16th century. The name is believed to have derived from the Old French word "valcin," which referred to a valley or a small valley. This suggests that the name was likely borne by individuals who lived in or near a valley region.

In the historical records, the VALCIN surname can be found in various regions of France, including Normandy, Brittany, and the Île-de-France region. The earliest documented mention of the name appears in a parish register from the town of Saint-Lô in Normandy, dated 1592, where a certain Jean VALCIN is recorded.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, several notable individuals bore the VALCIN surname. One such person was Pierre VALCIN (1620-1688), a French merchant and landowner from Rouen, who was recorded as owning significant properties in the region. Another was Marie VALCIN (1674-1743), a renowned painter from Paris, whose works were exhibited at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture.

The name VALCIN also appeared in historical documents related to the French Revolution. In 1789, a Louis VALCIN (1745-1812) from Marseille was elected as a deputy to the Estates-General, representing the Third Estate. He played a significant role in the early stages of the Revolution.

In the 19th century, the VALCIN surname was associated with several influential figures. One notable example is Émile VALCIN (1819-1892), a French writer and journalist from Bordeaux, who was known for his literary critiques and contributions to various publications.
