De Villenauxe,diocèse de Tro,Champagne

---

The Lupien/Lupient families were early settlers in "New France" or what is now known as Quebec, Canada. Lupiens originally came from France, where the earliest known ancestor was Lupien Baron, born circa 1622 in Villehauxe, Troyes, Champagne, France. Lupien Baron married Jeanne Tierson sometime before 1645 in his hometown. Jeanne was born circa 1629 of unknown parents in Villehauxe, Troyes, Champagne, France.

The couple may have had multiple children, but a record has been found for a son whom they named Nicolas, born June 17, 1645. He later used the name Nicolas Baron dit Lupien. The "dit" name was a way for a person to distinguish himself from others with similar names and was a common French practice. In this case, Nicolas took the given first name of his father for his "dit" name.

The original ancestor’s name of Lupien Baron evolved over time to the surnames of Baron dit Lupien to Baron, Barron, Lupien, and Lupient.
