All versions of French surnames are endowed with special beauty and charm. This language is very different from other European fellow. If you are always pronounced correctly, then french - are pronounced in different ways. For example, the popular Le Pen may sound like "Le Pen", "Le Pen", "De Le Pen". The first French names of families were given to the highest circle for the 11th century. And only in the 16th century, the royal decree was ordered to give every citizen of France a hereditary nickname.

Since then, French surnames from generation to generation are entered into the church metric. The most beautiful family nicknames in France occurred from the names of their own, from classes or from the geographical names in which the family was born. French male family names are widespread:

  • Robert

Women's birth names are not much different from male. The French history ordered that there are no differences and other endings, as in Russian, between the last names do not exist, so the beautiful generic names of women are also named their own, for example:

  • Lerua
  • Bonn
  • Francois

German

Generic names of Germany arose as well as in other countries: first they received them, then feudal and small landowners, and then the lower layers of the population. The whole process of forming hereditary nickname took about 8 centuries, and the first names appeared on the basis of their own names. Bright examples are German men's generic nicknames:

  1. Werner
  2. Hermann
  3. Jacobi.
  4. Peters

Beautiful family symbols in Germany appeared from the names of rivers, mountains and other words related to nature: Bern, Wahelweid. But the most popular generic names occurred from the occupations of the ancestors. For example, Muller translated means "Melnik", and Schmidt - "Blacksmith". Rare: Wagner, Zimmerman sounds beautifully. Women in Germany, as a rule, leave the mother name, and the most beautiful are considered:

  1. Lemann.
  2. Meyer.
  3. Peters

In France, the emergence of the names is fixed from the 12th century. To form them, places of birth, profession, nicknames were used. Aristocrats were used before the surname of the deletion of DE. By the Royal Decree of 1539, the presence of nickname has become mandatory for all. The name and surname of the newborn are now carefully fixed in church-parish books. To change the personal name of the family by the royal decree was prohibited. And what are the French surnames? The list, interesting facts and history are shown below.

Etymology of French surnames

Many French surnames (the list is very large, we only give a couple of three) originated from male names: Michel, Simon, Robert. In very rare cases from women's: Blanche, Rose, Berthe.

Very common surnames from the location name, where a person was born: Lenormand (Normal), Parisy (from the word paris - Paris), Lyonnais (Lyonets)
At the location of the house: DuPont (Pont - Bridge), Dubois (BOIS - Forest), Fontaine (Fountain). From the names of Professions: Peugeot (Seller of Resin), Mitterand (Run Grain), Boucher (Butcher). From the nickname: Leroux (Redhead), Bonnet (Cap), Mauduit (Non-Educated). As you can see, many beautiful French surnames, the list of which we led is higher, mean not such beautiful concepts.

Forms of French surnames

Medieval French surnames, the list of which is very extensive, had female and male genus. But modern nicknames have a single form for men and women. That is why the French names of girls and men are the same.

According to the components of the French surname, you can find out where a person was born. Nicknames beginning with LE- (La-, Les-), as well as on DE-, DU-, DEL-, DELA-, DES, are characteristic of Normandy and Northern France. Suffix -ot indicates that the man is from Burgundy or Lorraine. Sufifixes -Eau, -uc, -ic say that man was born in Western France.

Interestingly, two forms could be formed from one name, which reflects the difference in the language of the northern regions of France - Langue d'Oïl, from Provencal language - Langue d'OC. Northern Last names Bois, Chaussée, Roy correspond to the Southern Bosc, Caussade, Rey.

Not always "toponymic" shell of the name says about where a person was born. Charles de Gaulle was very proud that his nickname was consonant with the ancient name of France - La Gaule. Since childhood, he was confident that he would commit great things to France. But the name of Golly Flemadskaya, and in Flemish, she sounds Van de Walle, which means "living near the fortress wall."

Changing the surname

According to the Royal Decree of 1539, the surname should have been inherited. The child was obliged to wear a family nickname father. The surname of the mother was assigned to the baby only if the father was not famous.

The possibility of changing the surname is still there. As a rule, its cause is the indecent nickname. In the Middle Ages, the last name could have a completely different meaning. Today in France, parents themselves decide, father or maternal nickname will wear a child.

There is a very curious case of changing the surname during the French Revolution. At the bench of the defendants of the revolutionary Tribunal was someone de Saint-Sir, de Saint-Syr. On the question of the chair of his last name, he replied that he de Saint-Sir. "We have no more nobility," the chairman said. The "de" particle was characteristic of aristocratic surnames. "Then I'm just Saint-Sir," the defendant was not confused. "We have no more saints," the chairman continued. "Then I'm just Sir," the defendant parked. "There is no more king and royal titles," the chairman did not lose. The defendant was extremely witty person. He stated that he could not be judged, since he had no last name. The court recognized him innocent and prescribed him to choose the republican name.

Facts

Like all concepts in French, the names have fixed stress at the end of the word. In modern France there are 250,000 surnames. The surname Martin is considered the most common. The most iconic, carrier social burden, are considered 2 surnames - DuPont and Duchateau. DuPont (Pont - Bridge) is a widespread nickname, is a symbol of the middle Frenchman. Duchateau (Chateau - Castle) - Surname, symbolizing a rich french. A distinctive feature of French surnames is that when accessing the girl add Mademoiselle, to a married woman or widow Madame, and to a man - Monsieur. Only this is distinguished by men and women's French surnames, the list of which we have already led.

Transliteration of French surnames

To date, the correct transfer of foreign names and surnames requires unification, since many translators are illiterately transmitted. As a result, the same character in different translations turn out to be several options for writing his name. French names are translated into Russian in accordance with the rules of French reading. But the problem is that not all the sounds of French are in Russian. Therefore, such combinations of letters as -Ain, -aim, -an, -am, -on, -un, -in, etc., that is, all the nasal sounds, in Russian transliteration they acquire the sound "H": -en, - En, -an, -an, -on, -en, -an. The sounds [ǝ] and [œ], resembling the sound of ё in the word "dead", are transmitted to Russian as "e" at the beginning or middle of the word. At the end of the word there may be a double writing: Villedieu - Wilde, Montesquieu - Montcape.

In order not to offend the feelings of people, it is important to correctly pronounce French surnames. The list in Russian would be a very successful idea, but so far there is no single list.

We present you two list of names popular at different times in France. This is a list of 10 names popular when choosing a name for a newborn girl in France in 2009 and a list of popular names for 70 years (until 2006). Surprisingly, from the top ten of popular names for newborns, there is not a single name of the popular previously. Only the name of Manon at least somehow connected with the previously popular names is one of the names of Marie.

Many may be unusted transcription of French names. So, for example, the familiar Russian hearing name Anna, in French is read as Anne (Anne). This is due to the fact that the vowel "E" at the end of the word is not pronounced. Already, many French use the "wrong" pronunciation for them.

As in many other languages, in French, the derivative forms of names periodically acquire independence. So the name Alexandrine (Alexandrin) has a more popular abbreviated version of Sandrine (Sandrin). But it is characteristic of all languages \u200b\u200bof the world, so there is nothing surprising. In Russian names for example, this situation has developed today with the name of Arina, the derivative of Irina.
