Popular French last names: the top of the count

The dropdown, Place in the count, keeps the top 10, ranks 11 to 100, ranks 101 to 500 or ranks 501 to 850. The file counts births, not living people.

Given names, trades, places and nicknames

Under More filters, Kind sorts the 106 cards whose dictionary entry states a kind: 59 from a given name, such as Martin and Bernard; 26 from a trade, as Chevalier is the knight and Meunier the miller; 13 from a place, as Dubois is of the wood; and 8 from a nickname, such as Lejeune, the young.

Questions and answers

What are the most common last names in France?

Martin, Bernard, Thomas, Petit and Robert lead the count of births from 1891 to 2000. Martin was registered at 250,013 births, almost twice as many as Bernard, with 131,330.

Is this a French last name generator?

Yes. Each press deals five names at random from the 850, and the dropdown narrows the draw to the top 10, ranks 11 to 100 or deeper. Every name and figure comes from the institute's file.

What do French last names mean?

Most began as a given name, a trade, a place or a nickname. The dictionary reads Dubois as of the wood, Leroy as the king, Dupont as of the bridge and Chevalier as the knight. 65 cards quote a meaning.

Why do some names have no accent?

The file prints every name in capitals without accents. A card restores an accent only where the dictionaries list exactly one spelling, as in André; where they list several, as with Barre and Barré, the card names them.

How this list was compiled: Names, ranks and births: Insee, the French national statistics institute, 'Fichier des noms de famille' (https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/3536630, national file noms2008nat_txt, read 2 October 2026), which counts births in France by family name for each decade from 1891 to 2000; it holds 218,982 names. This list is the 850 names with the most births over the whole period, and the rank is that order, counted by us. The figure is a number of births in France over 110 years, not a number of people living today. The file prints names in capitals without accents. A card shows the accented spelling only where the dictionaries list exactly one spelling for the name: the French family names of French Wiktionary (https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/Catégorie:Noms_de_famille_en_français) and the 'French surnames' category of English Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:French_surnames), both read the same day (701 names). Where they list several (55 names, Montagne among them: the dictionaries hold only Montagné, and French Wikipedia lists Montagne as a family name of its own) the card keeps the file's spelling and names the others; where they list none (94 names) the card keeps the file's spelling. Kinds and meanings: the name's French entry on English Wiktionary. The kind (a given name, a trade, a place, a nickname) is the one its surname line states (106 cards); the others are unmarked. Lemaire and Morel, whose entries give two origins of different kinds, and Langlois, which its entry glosses as Englishman, are left unmarked. A meaning is the opening of its etymology where that gives a gloss, cut at a clause, or the English equivalent the entry names (65 cards); glosses about a person's body or temper were left off. No speaker of French has read the list. Licence: Insee data, reused under the Licence Ouverte 2.0 (https://www.insee.fr/fr/information/2008466).
