Family Name / Last Name: Houillon
No. of characters: 8
Origin: France
Meaning: Common family name in Lorraine (88, 54). This name, like the Coal and Houillez encountered in Picardy, is problematic. Can you relate it to coal (minor nickname)? Why not, given that the word occurs in the thirteenth century in Walloon country (hulhes, 1278). Among other possibilities, the ouiller report a verb derived (nickname winemaker or wine merchant), or the Walloon Houyon (= married man), I do not know if it corresponds to a term also used in the Is. As Houllier, we also consider a nickname given to a rake. Finally, the last hypothesis, as the town of Houilles, there could be something to do with the breeding of sheep.
