Etymology of Myette

What does the name Myette mean?

The name Myette is derived from the French word "mill" + the suffix "et", "ot" + "ay" and is properly pronounced "Mill" + the long vowel "a."

Early Origins of the Myette family

The surname Myette was first found in Burgundy (French: Bourgogne), an administrative and historical region of east-central France where the family has been traced from ancient times.

The family branched into Ile-de-France, Bourgogne, Dauphiné, Lorraine, Savoie, and they became the Barons of Challes and Barons of Faverges. Among the most recognized were: Theodore Millet, Colonel, who was named Knight of the Empire in 1810, then Baron of the Empire in 1813; Jean-François Millet (1814-1875), who was a talented painter, designer, and engraver.
