The Bergeon Family Name

Some records give Bergeron; others give Bergeon. Both point to the same French family name. In origin, the name means “Little shepherd”. Bergeon is listed among the recognised spellings of Bergeron. Before spelling was standardised, one family could appear under several forms.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Bergeon, so the heraldry linked to Bergeron is a starting point, not an automatic right. Want more than a summary? See the Bergeon family name pack.
