Boileau Family History
Boileau Name Meaning
French: from the Old French verb boi(re) ‘to drink’ + the
definite article l’ + eau ‘water’, hence a nickname,
perhaps for a teetotaler, perhaps for a drinker, or perhaps for
someone who was so parsimonious he was prepared to run the risk of
drinking water. Compare Drinkwater.
