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
From Rootsweb.com:

'Jean, a merchant, received a land grant below the Faveral River on June 01, 1649, but he preferred to settle in Montreal. He signed his name there on 6 July 1651 and promised with Jacques Picot, to settle on the island, and became a grantee on January 23/ 24, 1654. Jean was attracted to the trading in which he was a success. However, he couldn't resist the rich profit he could make from selling 'fire water' to the Indians, which was forbidden. He was convicted more than once for this offense. Due to a scandalous moral charge, Jean was banished from Montreal three years later. Jean went to Trois-Rivières where his sentence was revoked two years later. He then made his atonement by having Masses said at a church where they are still being said today. After this time, he led an exemplary life, and was a church warden in 1672. In the 1667 census, Jean was 33 years old, and his wife Marguerite was 24, and they had three children, Jean (6), Joseph (3), and Jacques (1), ...Read MORE...
