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
Jean LAMPRON (1637 - 1692) — Anne RENAUD (ca 1651 - 1714)
Pioneer Jean Lampron (Laspron) dit Lacharité was laid to rest this day, July 15th, 1692, at Québec.
Jean arrived in New France as a soldier of the Carignan-Salières Regiment. He married fille-du-roi Anne Michelle Renaud in 1669.
The couple had seven children, including a pair of twin girls who did not survive. Jacques Saintonge reports 'a curious fact' about the twins (Madeleine and Marie): 'one was baptized at the manor house of Michel Cressé , the other at the manor house of [Pierre] Mouet de Moras.' Lampron 'undoubtedly wanted to please the two seigneurs of Nicolet.'
Lampron reportedly dabbled in the fur trade, but was 'not in it full-time, but merely to round out his revenue.'
Notable descendants of Anne and Jean include wrestling executive 'Triple-H' Levesque and filmmakers Jean-Marc Vallée and Denis Villeneuve.
