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.

The Family Briand Dit Sansregret

My ancestor, Jean-Baptiste Briand Dit Sansregret, was born over 300 years ago in France, circa 1691, the son of Jean-Baptiste Briand and Marie-Anne Baudoin Dit Lafranche. I do not know the year that he arrived in New France, since there is no record of ship passengers during that time period. However, it is believed that he disembarked around 1720 in Montreal. After the war (1701-1714) of the Spanish Succession many peasants rioted in the streets, 'the value of gold went up, that of agricultural and manufacturing products down, incomes shrank, commerce slowed and poverty worsened' (Bernier 32). The life of a peasant in France was hard. Some looked to New France for a better life. Jean-Baptiste most likely set sail in the early spring from the port of La Rochelle. He was originally from the parish of Nanteuil, diocese of Angouleme, France; which today is noted for salt marshes and the production of mussels and oysters. Prior to the war, only a few vessels visited Quebec per year, but ...Read full story
