Québec Généalogie - What is a 'dit/dite' name?
When the first settlers came to Québec from France it was a custom to add a 'dit' nickname to the surname. The English translation of 'dit' is 'said'. The Colonists of Nouvelle France added 'dit' names as distinguishers. A settler might have wanted to differentiate their family from their siblings by taking a 'dit' name that described the locale to which they had relocated.
The acquiring of a 'dit' name might also be the result of a casual adoption, whereby the person wanted to honor the family who had raised them. Another reason was also to distinguish themselves by taking as a 'dit' name the town or village in France from which they originated. This custom ended around 1900 when people began using only one name, either the 'dit' nickname or their original surname.

'Jean Sicard de Carufel was witness, in 1741, to the beginning of the dis-establishment of his fief. His children, in their turn, sold their lands to their brother-in-law, Jean Francois Baril-Duchesny, Genevieve's husband.

According to Raoul Raymond, he entered his last sleep in August 1743, at the age of 77 years.'
