Reply to: origins & meanings of Tesreau, Brisebois, & Auel by Krista Tesreau
Brisebois is from la Creuse region. Variants include Brisabois, Brisebost and Brisebot. Meaning uncertain. It is thought it may have been a woodcutter's or carpenter's nickname (because brisé means broken, bois means wood).
