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.

Marguerite LEBLANC was the child of Andre LEBLANC and Marie DUGAS
Pierre Cloistre dit Clouâtre, a gunsmith, reached Acadia from France by 1722, the year he married Marguerite, daughter of André LeBlanc, one of the pioneers of the Minas settlement. Pierre and Marguerite settled at Grand-Pré and had at least a dozen children, including five sons, all born at Minas: Louis in August 1724, Georges in November 1727, Dominique in May 1729, Pierre-Sylvain in c1740, and Joseph in c1750. Their daughter Marie-Josèphe was born in April 1723, Anne in March 1744, and Marthe-Marie July 1746. Daughter Anne's marriage record calls her a native of "St. Jean, Acadia," so the gunsmith and his wife may have lived on French-controlled Île St.-Jean during the 1740s. Only one of Pierre and Marguerite's sons seems to have married before Le Grand Dérangement: Third son Dominique married Françoise, daughter of Claude Boudrot, fils, probably at Minas in c1750. Oldest daughter Marie-Josèphe married Pierre, son of Augustin Hébert, at Grand-Pré in October 1747.
