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
François SÉGUIN (1644 - ca 1701) — Jeanne PETIT (ca 1656 - 1733)

French-Canadian pioneer François Séguin dit Ladéroute was baptized this day, July 4th, 1644, at St-Aubin-en-Bray, France.

François arrived in New France as a soldier of the Carignan-Salières regiment under the command of Pierre de St-Ours. He married fille-du-roi Jeanne Petit in 1672 at Boucherville, one of the first marriages celebrated there. The couple had eleven children.

Their son Simon married English captive Deborah Cole, who was baptized 'Marie Madeleine' at Montreal in 1703: her godfather was the wealthy merchant Jacques Le Ber de Senneville.

Father Lebel writes that their youngest son, Joseph, 'supplied boats leaving for Detroit,' part of the 'lucrative fur trade.' Joseph married Françoise Sauvage in 1723 at Detroit where their 'ten children were born.' Joseph himself 'died at Fort Pontchartain' and was buried at Ste-Anne-de-Détroit in 1753.
