[Surname] Sansregret
I'm pretty sure that Sansregret is a French surname meaning "without regret" or "no regret"... But how would one acquire this surname?? thanks,

Sansregret is one of many so-called 'dit names' (nom dits) that French soldiers used to bear and that eventually came to replace many French Canadian surnames. You'll find an overview of all this at http://web.syr.edu/~laroux/docs/dits.html.
