Paulet History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

Origins Available:
England
France

The prominent surname Paulet originated in France, a country which has been a dominant presence in world affairs for centuries. The earliest forms of hereditary surnames in France were the patronymic surnames, which are derived from the father's given name, and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the mother's given name. The patronyms were derived from a variety of given names that were of many different origins. As well as the names of the saints of the Christian Church, many of the most common French surnames are derived from personal names of Germanic origin. They derive from the language of the Visigoths, who controlled France between the mid-5th and early 8th centuries. The name Paulet is derived from the Latin name "Paulus," meaning "small."

Early Origins of the Paulet family

The surname Paulet was first found in Burgundy (French: Bourgogne), an administrative and historical region of east-central France, where the family was established in early times.

The family can be traced back to Jean Paulat, who was qualified as an equestrian riding master in 1558. This family formed alliances with other prominent families, such as the Montrichard de la Brosse, the Guines, and the Rougeot families. The fiefs in the family's possession were la Tour in Jarreto, Montarvaux and la Faye.
