Among other things, I asked myself:
"Why do the Russians have massively occurring surnames (Ivanov, Smirnov), the English (Smith-Brown), the Germans (Schwartz-Muller), the Welsh (Jones), the Irish (Murphy-Donovan), the Sikhs (Singh) , the Senegalese even have it, the Romanians and the Hungarians, but the French don’t? Two Lemieux, two Dumas and three Rousseau - are these really numbers? Where there are millions of Renards and Ferriers - they don’t exist."

and I was thinking, I’m probably right klopk .. and says this, it seems to me,not only and not so much, as Gavagai believes, about the fact that the French are less well-known, but about something else... perhaps also about the strong ethnocultural autonomy of the French provinces..

however, there is still a clear, undisputed leader... the most common surname in France is Martin, and it leads by a wide margin - 235,846 people... it is most common in the south (Provence, Alps, Rhone Valley).. although open hearths are leaders in Paris..

behind the open hearths it is quite dense:
2. bernard (Bernard, mainly in the south, Gironde, Rhone valley) - 105 132
3. dubois (dubois, or groves in our opinion, is most common, as you might guess, in the north and central France) - 95,998
4. thomas - 95 387
5. robert - 91 393
6. richard (Richard, “rich”, most common in eastern France) - 90,689
7. petit (peti, equivalent, apparently, to Maltsev?) 88 318
8. durand (durand, in second place in Paris, it’s difficult to find an equivalent) - 84,252
9. leroy (leroy, "queens", common in the northern departments) - 78,868
10. moreau (Moro, Western France, Brittany, Charente, Loire Valley, I think they are “relatives” of the Spanish Morales) - 78,177

I’m curious, however, why the Kuznetsovs in France, that is, Lefebvres and Forgets, are far from the most common surnames... Lefebvres, however, are in 13th place (74,564 people)..

it is clear that surnames derived from the names of professions are probably less common everywhere than those derived from given names, but the Kuznetsov-Smiths seem to be the clear leaders among Europeans... in Russia, however, there are a lot of surnames derived from the names of animals, all sorts of Sokolovs, Orolovs, Lebedevs, Volkovs, Zaitsevs, Komarovs...
in France, the most common surname derived from the name of animals is renard, “lisitsyn”... distant 83rd place, 31,646 people... and unexpectedly few “roosters” - lecocq (9788 people), cocq (less than a thousand), le cocq ( several hundred), cocteau (there are 126 people in total)..

Of the surnames formed from the names of professions, in France the fourniers (Fourniers, Pechkins and Pechnikovs) unexpectedly lead - 20th place, 57,047 people... I thought that Marchans, merchants, but they are in 60th place, 35,001 people..
in 25th place - mercier, haberdasher... we don’t have those, we somehow sold more and more bread and butter...
"Melnikovs" - meunier - in 46th place, 35,741 people..
"carpenters" - charpentier - in 134th place - 22,708 people..

and now, it’s funny: in the twentieth century in France the surname absinthe (absinthe) finally disappeared..
alas, such wonderful surnames as Trintignant, Lancellotti and Dazu are on the verge of extinction.. dazu have already disappeared, but several dazut have not yet given up, they are multiplying.. more precisely, they are giving birth to boys..
because the disappearance of surnames in France is largely due to the fact that girls, by law, cannot keep their maiden name when they get married, and children must take their father's surname..

French surnames

French surnames

List of famous French surnames.

First French surnames appeared among representatives of high French society. Later, in 1539, a royal decree was issued, according to which every resident of France was assigned his family name, that is, his surname.

The French, like other peoples, used personal names, nicknames and derivatives of names and nicknames as surnames.

According to the royal decree, surnames were to be inherited and recorded in church and parish books. This royal decree of 1539 is considered the official beginning of the appearance of French surnames. Aristocrats used the preposition de before their surname.

At first, according to French law, a child could only bear the father's surname, and the mother's surname could only be given to the child if the father was unknown. Now French legislation allows parents to decide for themselves whose surname the child will bear - the father's surname or the mother's surname. Also used double French surnames, which are written with a hyphen.

Currently, the following titles are used before using French names and surnames:

Mademoiselle (mademoiselle) - an appeal to an unmarried woman, girl.

Madame (madam) - an appeal to a married, divorced or widowed woman. The plural is Mesdames (“medam”).

Monsieur (monsieur) - an address to a man.

Like all words in French, surnames have fixed stress on the end of the word.

Qual é o seu nome? What is your name? If you ask this question in, the answer to it can tell a lot about the origin of the Brazilian. For more than 3 centuries, this country was a colony of Portugal (1500-1822). It is for this reason that Portugal had a huge influence on the formation of the culture of Brazil, incl. to names. And the official language in Brazil is Portuguese (albeit with a harsh local dialect).

However, it is worth considering that immigration, officially enshrined in 1808, has always played an important role in the formation of the population. From that time on, foreigners were legally allowed to acquire land ownership. Brazilians are a nation formed as a result of long-term contact between the 3 main earthly races. Three colors were mixed on the local palette: white – from the Portuguese and immigrants from Europe, black – from African blacks imported to work on plantations, and yellow – from the local Indian population.

The huge number of emigrants from all over the world has led to an impressive variety of names. That is why modern local names have not only Portuguese roots, but also other European, African, Jewish, Japanese and even Slavic roots.

How are Brazilian first and last names formed?

Brazilian names, as a rule, consist of a simple or compound (of 2 names) personal name, as well as two or three surnames, less often one or even four. The number of surnames is determined at the request of the child’s parents.

Let's imagine that Jose Santos Almeida(José Santos Almeida - father) and Maria Abreu Melo(Maria Abreu Melo - mother) a daughter was born, who was named Joana Gabriela(Joana Gabriela). In this case, her full official name can be indicated in several ways:

• Joana Gabriela Melo Almeida(classic version: mother’s composite first and last name + father’s last name);
• Joana Gabriela Abreu Melo Almeida(2 surnames from mother, 1 from father);
• Joana Gabriela Abreu Santos Almeida(1 surname from mother, 2 from father);
• Joana Gabriela Almeida(father's last name);
• Joana Gabriela Abreu Melo Santos Almeida(conservative Portuguese version: 2 surnames from each parent).

At the same time, for practicality in everyday life, all the “internals” are usually removed and only the first name and last name are used in circulation - Joana Almeida.

Also, particles such as da, das, do, dos, de are often used in Brazilian names. All these particles can be translated as “from” or “with”, i.e. they answer the question of where the origin of the family begins. Moreover, this does not have to be the name of a locality, city or region. It may also be the name of the slave owner who once owned the founders of a particular family. For example, (in abbreviated versions): Joana do Rosário, Maria da Cunha, José das Neves, Ronaldo Souza dos Santos, etc.

Portuguese conservatism and Brazilian “not giving a damn”

The conservative government of Portugal has carefully monitored the registration of the names of Portuguese newborns over the past 3 centuries. Their legislation even has a separate article defining a list of standards for spelling names. Based on this list, for example, parents cannot name the boy Thomas or Tomas - only Tomás. Or you can’t call the girl Theresa - exclusively Tereza. Moreover, every traditional Portuguese name has some meaning, mainly of a Catholic interpretation.

In Brazil, names are treated much more simply than in the former metropolis. Unlike Portugal, in Brazil there can be only one surname - the father's, and the child can be named whatever your heart desires: Tereza, Thereza, Teresa, etc. This simple-minded nation was formed by emigrants, and it was this factor that influenced the fact that Brazilian names can be very diverse: unusual, exotic, foreign, and often simply invented in a hurry. Basically, representatives of the poorest stratum of the population - local residents - like to give such names.

Nicknames

It often happens that Brazilian children have the same names as their parents, but with some diminutive endings, such as -inha, -inho, -zinho, -zito, etc. For example, Teresa's daughter becomes Teresinha, translated as "little Teresa", Carlos becomes Carlinhos, and João becomes Joãozinho, etc. A striking example: Ronaldinho is the son of Ronaldo. Also, boys are very often simply credited with the ending Junior (Junior), for example, Neymar's son - Neymar Junior.

Brazilians also like to take pseudonyms for themselves, which are usually formed by the usual abbreviation (Beatrice - Bea, Manuel - Manu, Frederico - Fredo, etc.) or double repetition of one of the syllables in the name. Thus Leonor becomes Nono, José becomes Zezé, Joana becomes Nana, Ricardo becomes Kaká or Dudu, etc. P. A combination of abbreviation and addition of a suffix is ​​also possible (for example, Leco from Leonardo).

The son of Kaka, in turn, may be called Caquinho, the son of Zeze - Zezinho, etc.
