About the Desjardins surname

The surname Desjardins has a primarily toponymic formation. Desjardins literally means “from the gardens” and points to a residence or place near gardens. The surname may therefore originally have identified a person by place of origin, residence, or a feature of the landscape. Families bearing the same surname may nevertheless come from different places when more than one locality produced a similar name.

Pronunciation: Dé-jar-din/deʒaʁdɛ̃/
