Description:

Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
"Monsieur Picard, who has previously written about the etymologies of the French migrants who settled Quebec and Acadia in the 17th and 18th centuries, now follows the spread of those surnames to various English-speaking parts of North America. Besides its derivations and Anglicizations, this resource references the first
French-Canadian
settlers bearing the
names
found in the
dictionary
. Professor Picard explains the development of
French-Canadian
surnames and their subsequent Americanization, along with a discussion of the various kinds of Anglicization, direct translations, partial translation, and mistranslations of French into English. Each of the thousands of entries in the
dictionary
contains two parts. The first of these is onomastic in nature, providing the etymology of the surname and any
Americanized
variants from which they stem. The second part contains some or all of the following information: the name of the first
French-Canadian
bearer of the name, the name of his parents, his place of origin in France, the name of his spouse and the
names
of her parents, and the place of his marriage"--Provided by publisher.
