The terrebonne Surname
terrebonne Name Meaning and History
Apparently a French topographic name, from terre ‘land’ +
bonne ‘good’. However, the surname is not found in French
sources; moreover, the adjective is in the wrong position for French,
and the distribution of the name in the U.S. does not comply with the
normal French pattern. It would seem to be a Frenchification of some
other surname.
