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." Colonists of Nouvelle France used dit names as distinguishers. A settler might use one to differentiate a branch of the family from siblings, sometimes choosing a name connected with the place to which the family had relocated.

A dit name could also result from a casual adoption or from honoring the family that had raised someone. In other cases it identified the town or village in France from which the person originated. The custom ended around 1900, when people increasingly used only one name, either the dit nickname or the original surname.

Biography

ADHÉMAR DE SAINT-MARTIN, ANTOINE, royal notary, clerk of court, process-server, and prison keeper; b. c. 1639, son of Michel Adhémar, a bourgeois of Saint-Salvy in the town of Albi (in the province of Languedoc), and of Cécile Gasche; d. 15 April 1714 at Montreal.

Among the troops who landed at Quebec with M. de Chastelard de Salières on 17 Aug. 1665 was a soldier named Saint-Martin, in the company of M. de Saurel*; in Saint-Martin one is tempted to recognize Antoine Adhémar, all the more because it was at Sorel that the latter began his civil career, as royal notary in 1668. (In all probability, therefore, Adhémar took part in the expedition into the Mohawk country.) On 3 Nov. 1673, when Frontenac [Buade*] appointed him “royal process-server and serjeant-at-law for the whole of Canada,” Adhémar was still living at Sorel, but received acts regularly in the seigneuries of Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Sainte-Anne de la Pérade, Batiscan, Champlain, and even Chambly. He was about to go and set

...although he had made no declaration to this effect at the time of the 1681 census, Adhémar did have some cattle, and probably a few acres under cultivation. But he does not seem to have had a particular liking for the country, or rather he seems to have preferred the atmosphere of the town.

1687

At the time of his third marriage Adhémar was about to move to Montreal, where he had been summoned by Dollier de Casson, to replace Hilaire Bourgine as clerk of the court for seigneurial justice. On 2 May 1687 Casson gave him his commission. Pursuing his career, but confining himself now to his responsibilities as notary and clerk of court, Adhémar also devoted much attention to the interests of the widow and under-age children of his brother-in-law Jean Aubuchon, who had been murdered in 1685. A large number of deeds, in which he appears in his capacity as guardian, concern this estate...

On leaving the Trois-Rivières region in 1687, Adhémar had sold his land at Champlain to his brother-in-law, Jean Cusson; Jacques Babie* had bought from him his “two oxen and the cow which are at M. Cusson’s” for 140 livres.

...In Montreal he rapidly became recognized as the notary of the merchants dealing in furs and the coureurs de bois.
