Where did the French lachance family come from? What is the French lachance family crest and coat of arms? When did the lachance family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the lachance family history?
From the historical and enchanting region of France emerged a multitude of notable family names, including that of the distinguished lachance family. Originally, the people in this region went by one (personal) name. Surnames evolved during the Middle Ages when people began to assume an extra name to avoid confusion and to further identify themselves. These names then began to become "fixed" or hereditary between the generations. One of the types of names adopted as surnames were those derived from nicknames. Nickname surnames were derived from an eke-name, or added name, and generally reflected some physical characteristics or other attribute of the first person that used the name. The lachance surname derives from the Old French word "cheaunce," which means "chance," and as such was likely originally a nickname for a gambler, for a lucky person, or ironically, for an unlucky person.
