Info

In early days, names were assigned in function of (1) a [saint’s] firstname, often used as “patronym”, (2) a geographic place e.g. village orcity, (3) in function of a characteristic such as physical appearance,style or temper, (4) in function of demographic origin e.g.“Hollander” or “Lefrançois”, (5) in function of a profession (seebelow) or... combinations of the above!Spelling of names was not so important in the past. Families whowere lucky to have their (first) name written down were the happy few.There were less inhabitants and craftsmen in villages. Few people hadthe same name or profession. Notaries, priests and civil servants werenot as accurate as today. The name “Potter” was transcribed“Pottere” or “Potters” (Pottersoone, son of…; ‘s Potters, family of ...) orPottre (BE), Pottes (BE/FR), Pottier (BE), Pottiez (BE), Pottère(FR), Pötter (DE), Poterus (NL), Potier (FR), Pooter (BE), Poortere(BE), plus variants “le Pottere” (BE/FR/UK), “le Potier” (FR), “dePottier” (FR), “de Pottes” (FR/BE), “Depottere”...18
At the end of the 1st Millenium, in the cities of Cambrai, Tournai,Courtrai, Roubaix and Renaix, some brave craftsmen weremanufacturing clay or iron pots. Some were esquires with the Duke ofMortaigne in Potelle, cousin of French kings, husband of CountessAlix of Flanders from Lille.Different POTTERS’ families took advantage of rich soils and ironcrafts expertise in the region. Also, the presence of the Escaut river,and the proximity of the sea, were advantages to ship heavy clay jars(Hainaut, Flanders) and cast iron caldrons (Liège).Quality work across centuries allowed transfer of their coat of arms andcrafts emblems onto local blasons of cities or places like: Potte (Arras),Potes -Pottelbergh (Renaix), Trou Pottier (Tournai), Potelle (Mons),Potterye (Roulers/ Bruges)...19
