Etymology of VacheronWhat does the name Vacheron mean? The name Vacher is derived from the French word "vache," which means "cow." Sources believe that the name was originally an occupation name for a person that worked with cows, such as a cowherd. 1 Early Origins of the Vacheron familyThe surname Vacheron was first found in Brittany, originally Armorica in ancient times, where the family has been a prominent family for centuries, and held a family seat with lands and manor. The family were well established in the region of Dol and several members of the family distinguished themselves through their contributions toward the community in which they lived and were rewarded with lands, titles and letters patent confirming their nobility. Guillaume Vacher, son of Guillaume and Guilmette, settled in Canada in the 17th century. He married Marguerite Benoist, daughter of Gabriel and Anne-Marie, at Trois-Rivières on 26th November 1685. 2 Early History of the Vacheron familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Vacheron research.
