 France Noble surnames, such as Deshaies, evoke images of the ancient homeland of the French people. The original bearer of the name Deshaies, which is a local surname, once lived, held land, or was born in the beautiful region of Lorraine.

Local names originally denoted the proprietorship of the village or estate. The Deshaies family originally lived at the town of Paresse or Parez, in the Lorraine. Although one would at first assume that the name is derived from the city of Paris, evidence suggests that the names of both the town in the Lorraine and the French capital are derived from a Gaulish tribe called the Parisii.
