Where did the French Paux family come from? What is the French Paux family crest and coat of arms? When did the Paux family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Paux family history?

The long and noble heritage behind the name of Paux first began in medieval France. Originally, the French people were known only by a single name. The process by which hereditary surnames were adopted in France is extremely interesting. Surnames evolved during the Middle Ages when people began to assume an extra name to avoid confusion and to further identify themselves. Many people, such as the Paux family, adopted the name of their occupation as their surname. However, an occupational name did not become a hereditary surname until the office or type of employment became hereditary. The surname Paux was an occupational name for a maker of clay and metal drinking and storage vessels deriving its origin from the Latin word "potus," meaning "to drink."
