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
HACHÉ-GALLANT, MICHEL (the name was originally Larché; the forms Haché, dit Gallant, Galan, and Galand also appear), settler in Acadia and Île Saint-Jean (Prince Edward Island), founder of the Haché and the Gallant families of the Maritimes; b. c. 1663, d. 1737.
Michel Haché-Gallant’s origins are obscure. He is probably the son of Pierre Larché, originally of the parish of Saint-Pierre in Montdidier, bishopric of Beauvais, and of Adrienne Langlois. Pierre Larché had died by 1668, and Michel was raised in Trois-Rivières at the home of Jacques Leneuf* de La Poterie, father of Michel Leneuf de La Vallière, senior. The latter seems to have taken Michel Larché with him to Acadia to his seigneury of Beaubassin. Rameau de Saint-Père writes of La Vallière and his seigneury, “among the indentured employees, we find . . . an active and intelligent young man named Haché Galand, who was [La Vallière’s] business representative, serjeant-at-arms, and confidential agent.” In 1690 Michel Haché...Read full story
