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.

Biography
DIZY, dit Montplaisir, MICHEL-IGNACE, soldier, voyageur, farmer, seigneurial judge; baptized 16 Aug. 1661 at Trois-Rivières, son of Pierre Dizy and Marie Drouillet (or Drouillard), brother of Marguerite and Pierre*; buried 13 Feb. 1723 at Champlain.
Michel-Ignace Dizy did not succeed in resisting the lure of adventure which won over the youth of the Trois-Rivières region in the 17th century. With his brother, Charles, and his future father-in-law, René Baudouin, he is thought to have accompanied Cavelier* de La Salle, for he obtained a grant of land at Fort Saint-Louis in the Miami country on 1 Dec. 1682. We find Michel-Ignace at Cataracoui the following summer, with a group of militiamen from his native region. He held the rank of lieutenant in Jean-Amador Godefroy’s company. He was back at Champlain before 2 Dec. 1683, the date on which he deposited the title to his land grant at Fort Saint-Louis in the registry of the notary Antoine Adhémar.
