Etienne Stephan Barbeau has French origins.

Etienne Stephan Barbeau

Narrative

His ancestral French dit name was Barbeau dit Boisdore. It identifies or distinguishes something about the person or family. Boisdore was also spelled Bois Dor, or Bois Dore in France. His dit name was carried from France to Nouvelle France and French Louisanne by his French Barbeau family. It refers to a master craftsman gold guilder or gold wood gilding. It remains a modern gold gilding definition. Dit Boisdore may have also referred to a French seigneury ( wood producing plantation) named Boisdore, Bois-Barbeau or Bois-Barbot in France. Eventually French dit name use was dropped as families became nationalized in North America and discontinued in France after the French Revolution. He received dit Boisdore from his father in Nouvelle France

Children of Marguerite Santorie and Etienne Note: There may have been a name transition from Barbeau to Barber when they moved to New York. Barber is a well known English family name in the New England area. Etienne may have wanted to Americanize his name to Barber. Birth and Death records are needed to confirm. It is possible he wanted to distinguish the surname of the children born to his second wife. It may also be an incorrect spelling made by American translators.
