Did You Know? Québec Généalogie - What is a 'dit/dite' name?  When the first settlers came to Québec from France it was a custom to add a 'dit' nickname to the surname. The English translation of 'dit' is 'said'. The Colonists of Nouvelle France added 'dit' names as distinguishers. A settler might have wanted to differentiate their family from their siblings by taking a 'dit' name that described the locale to which they had relocated. The acquiring of a 'dit' name might also be the result of a casual adoption, whereby the person wanted to honor the family who had raised them. Another reason was also to distinguish themselves by taking as a 'dit' name the town or village in France from which they originated. This custom ended around 1900 when people began using only one name, either the 'dit' nickname or their original surname.

Pierre Guillet and Jeanne St-Pair

"The brothers Pierre and Mathurin Guillet, originally from Aunis or Saintonge, probably arrived in New France about 1647... Certainly the Guillet brothers were in Canada by 1648, the year of their marriages to the sisters Jeanne and Catherine de Saint-Pere, daughters of Etienne and of Madeleine Cousteau."
