Random information on the term “DIT”:
The dit name (French: nom-dit [nɔ̃ di]) was a common French-Canadian custom by which families often adopted an alternate surname. They were also used in France, Italy, and Scotland. The practice lasted until the 19th century, and in a few cases into the 20th century. The dit name poses challenges for genealogists confronted with different surnames in different documents, particularly if they are not familiar with the custom.
Dit and the feminine form dite translate as “called” and are the past participle of the French word dire, “to say”. A name such as Adolphe Guillet dit Tourangeau can translate as “Adolphe Guillet, called Tourangeau”, where both “Guillet” and “Tourangeau” are used as surnames, sometimes together and sometimes individually in different situations. The dit name carried the same legal weight as the original family name with regard to land transfers and the naming of children. Dit names developed for a variety of reasons, such as distinguishing one family from another nearby family with the same surname, or allowing an adopted child to retain both their birth and adopted family names. In some cases, both the original name and the dit name were retained. For example, Miville-Deschênes or Paulhus.
