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
CHARRON DE LA BARRE, CLAUDE (baptized Claude Charon), business man, alderman of Quebec, police magistrate, churchwarden, syndic; baptized 3 May 1622 in the parish of Saint-Saturnin, Blois, France, son of Baptiste Charon and Claude Beguet; d. 1687 at Quebec. He appears to have signed “Charron” or “Charon” without distinction.
Arriving at Quebec in 1652 or shortly before, Charron and his wife Claude Camus (or Le Camus) settled first on the Île d’Orléans. Even at this time Charron had servants, which suggests that he had some financial resources. Two of his servants, perhaps planning to rob him, wounded him in the throat with a pistol on 29 April 1653.
On 20 May of that year, Governor Jean de Lauson granted him a commoner’s holding of ten acres on the Île d’Orléans. But Charron had little interest in clearing and cultivating land. Thus we soon find him back in Quebec, where he kept a shop. His business flourished to such an extent that on 7 March 1660 he sold his land on the Île
