Bazinet History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The surname Bazinet is derived from the French given name Basil. Basil is derived from the ancient Greek given name, Basileios, which means royal. In some cases the name may also be of occupational derivation, stemming from the word, bombasin, which was a kind of cotton cloth. In such a case the name would have referred to a maker or seller of such cloth.
Early Origins of the Bazinet family
The surname Bazinet was first found in Poitou, where the family first originated and maintained their status as one of the more distinguished families of the region.
The family branch of Bazin was registered in this region as early as 1215, again in 1356, and finally in 1431. The name was also found in the 18th century in Moncoutant. The family prospered and maintained noble status in the western region of France, branching out into the region of Brittany where the family was registered in 1256. 1
Raoul Bazin was registered in the region as the Lord of Houssaye in 1480. An earlier family branch formed in Blois where Jean, born in 1538, became the resident for the King of France under the King of Poland. His son, Isaac Bazin, would later become the deputy general of the reformed church.
