Etymology of Sommet

The noble French surname Sommet is of locative origin, as it is derived from a physical feature near which the original bearer lived or held land. In this instance, the surname Sommet is derived from the French word "sommet" which in English is translated as "summit" and which signifies "dweller on the summit." Thus, the original bearer of the surname Sommet once lived on the summit of a mountain or hill from which he had a commanding view of all the land surrounding him.
