Meaning & History
Means "of by God" in French, derived from French pardieu meaning "by God", hence a nickname for a person who blasphemously uttered the name of God. It could also indicate a person who came from various places in France called Part-Dieu or Pardieu, for example the Lyon-Part-Dieu Business District in the city of Lyon. This name is borne by the French actor Gérard Depardieu (1948-).
