- Origins Available:
 France The surname Augereau is derived from the French personal name Auger, which is itself derived from the Old German name Adalgarius, which means noble spear. Patronymic surnames, which are a type of hereditary surname, arose out of the vernacular and religious given name traditions. The vernacular or regional naming tradition is the oldest and most pervasive type of patronymic surname. According to this custom, names were originally composed of vocabulary elements from the local language. Vernacular names that were derived from ancient Germanic personal names have cognates in most European languages. For example, the court of Charlemagne (742-814) was Christian and Latin-speaking, but the Frankish dialect of Old German was commonly used for personal names. Vernacular names were widespread throughout Normandy. Accordingly, many typical English and French names are in fact, originally of Germanic origin and often have cognates in other European countries. Early Origins of the Augereau familyThe surname Augereau was first found in Provence, where the family held a family seat since ancient times. This ancient family emerged in the region of the Rhône Valley around the 9th century. The first record of this noble family of France was found in the ancient cartulary of the Abbey of Beaulieu, in the province of Limousin in 897, and in the "Recueil des actes de Charles III le Simple" 879-929, in the year of 899. There exists also an earlier record dating from the year of 792, and is mentioned in "Regesta Alsatiae aevi Merovingici et Karolini". The family grew and established branches in the provinces of Berry, to the south of Paris, Normandy, Champagne, and Dauphiné, where they flourished into the 1500's when a few of the aristocratic branches became extinct. In subsequent years they were found in Dauphiné from medieval times and as late as 1560. Early History of the Augereau familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Augereau research.
