Meaning & History

This medieval surname literally means "from Aurevalle". Aurevalle can refer to any of the three French communes that are nowadays known by the more modern spelling Orival. All of them ultimately derive their name from Latin #aurea vallis# meaning "golden vale" or "golden valley".
