Additional Information:

Name derives from a place name of the family Dupre who emigrated to Montreal, Canada in the late 1600's. The first person to use the name as a "last" name was Jean Jacques Dupre dit Terrebonne, Earl of Terrebonne. The portion "dit" means of/from the Earldom of Terrebonne, which is a modern day suburb of Montreal. The vast majority of the people with this last name live in Louisiana, USA. At least one "Terrebonne" traveled by land to what is modern day Louisiana, in the late 1600's and the family name became "Terrebonne" instead of Dupre.
