Some 16th Century Parisian Male French Names
By Chrestienne la pescheresse (Mathilde Poussin)
Introduction
The names collected here are all from the "Arrests
& proces verbaulx d'execution d'iceux, contre Jehan Tanquerel,
Maistres Artus Désiré, François de Rosieres,
& autres" that can be found and accessed on
Google books[1]
These legal documents are an interesting reading
about the operation of Royal Justice in France at the time. Another interesting
aspect is typographical. This text has no "j" and where you would expect to see
it used, you find "i" instead. So there is no Jean/Jehan but Iean/Iehan, Iacques
instead of Jacques, Ioseph instead of Joseph.
There are also some u/v substitutions.
These names are dated 1583 and 1561. The pool of
names is not very big, and across the text several names are mentioned several
times. The sorted data take that into account, counting the same person only
once to determine the frequency of name elements, while noting the spelling
variants.
Given Names sorted by frequency
For the same person, the spelling of the name could vary within the text. The
variants below were in each case for the same person (as indicated by the last
name) whose name appeared several times in the text.

Bynames sorted alphabetically
For the same person, the spelling of the byname could vary within the text. The variants
below were in each case for the same person (as indicated by the last name)
whose name appeared several times. Only one family name, Camus, appeared for
two different people. This is why this list is sorted alphabetically only and
not by frequency.
The clearly
recognizable constructions of the bynames derive from what is frequently seen
in the source of French bynames: locative (all the de + place name, or
contracted like Daval, Daumont or unmarked like Paris), patronymic (ex: Allain,
Thierry), occupational (ex: Boucher, Vigneron).
