Levasseur Family History
Levasseur Name Meaning
French: status name from Old French vasseor, a short form of
vavasour, a term of the feudal system for a tenant ranking
immediately below a baron. Such a tenant would have been a prosperous
man, and the surname may have been used for someone in his service
more often than for the man himself. The term is probably derived from
medieval Latin vassus vassorum ‘vassal of vassals’,
i.e. vassal-in-chief.
