Family Name / Last Name: Visage
No. of characters: 6
Origin: South Africa
Meaning: The name is focused in the Eure-et-Loir and Loiret. We find the equivalent in The Face Britain, especially in the Morbihan (Alternative: Levisage). Difficult to guess the meaning. The current meaning of the word "face" is certainly possible, but we do not understand what it could mean in a nickname. Perhaps we should take the name with its original meaning (= the sense of sight), and in this case it would designate one who has keen eyesight. Alternatively, the figurative meaning of "façade walls", attested in the fourteenth century, and it would then become microtoponym dealing with a family name.
