Abstract:[Definition, identification and localisation of geohapax in the corpus of French patronyms: A comparison of old and recent sources]
Surnames have been widely used to describe the spatial structure of populations and the migrations between them. In France, as elsewhere, the distribution of documented surnames in the twentieth century reveals a strong micro-regional specificity and long-standing presence of some surnames, maintained despite the inevitable depletion of the initial stock of names and its regular renewal by migration. Geohapax are at present the subject of systematic researches by demographers and historians but also by geneticists who see them as possible vectors of genetic peculiarities.
For ancient periods and in some places, corpuses of surnames are available allowing to reveal the geographic distribution of surnames in the late Middle Ages, and to question the continuity, in the long term, of the initial stocks, and to track down the geohapax by comparing old and recent corpuses. In this paper, we illustrate and discuss, from various historical and contemporary data, the process of extinction of surnames with time and the various conditions allowing to select geohapax.
