Re: Jadelot
in reply to a message by Obie
In fact I am not sure. The surname exists in Northern France: see the French site. You should look at the site of JEAN TOSTI www.jtosti.com/noms.
You could find similar surnames derived from Gérard

The -ot ending is often read as a diminutive in French names. (Carlot for Little Charles e.g.) So that would make it 'little Gerard'. At least we agree that the J is not original.
