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.

[Hide/Show]Marie-Madeleine GODIN dite CHATILLON married 
Robert HENRY-- Date: abt. 1678 Place: Cobequid, Acadia
Robert Henry or Henri of Rouen, France, evidently raised a Huguenot, also came to Acadia from Canada, where he was counted at Trois-Rivières in 1666 and 1667. He worked there as a domestic servant for Quentin Moral and was confirmed into the Roman Catholic faith at Trois-Rivières on 6 June 1666. Robert moved to Chignecto in c1676 perhaps with the seigneur of Beaubassin, Michel Le Neuf de la Vallière. In c1678, Robert married Marie-Madeleine, daughter of Pierre Godin dit Châtillon and Jeanne Rousselière. De Meulles counted them at Port-Royal in 1686; one wonders why they left Chignecto. Robert was age 43, and Marie-Madeleine was 20. They were living with four small children, including two sons and a daughter, the youngest child, only a baby, gender and name unrecorded (probably daughter Geneviève, born in January), who had not yet been baptized. De Meulles did not record the size of their farm, but he did say they owned 1 gun, 4 cattle, and 10 sheep. Marie-Madeleine gave Robert 13 children, including six sons who created families of their own.
