- Origins Available:
 France The French surname Amirault is occupational in origin, as it is derived from the work a man did or the profession he pursued. In this case, the name can be traced to the French word "amiral," which means, quite simply, "admiral," a respectful seafaring profession. Thus, the original bearer of the name may have been a sea captain, or an admiral. 1 Early Origins of the Amirault familyThe surname Amirault was first found in the southern region of Provence along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The name was also seen in the town of Amirat in the French department of Alpes-Maritimes in the southeastern part of France. 1 The family was found mostly in the region of Alpes-Maritimes. As they grew in prominence throughout the south of France, several branches of the family moved to other regions to establish themselves. Individuals bearing the surname Amirault were awarded titles of nobility from the French court. The family was granted a coat of arms in the 17th century and remained a prosperous and influential family along the southern coast.
