About the Lacroix surname
The surname Lacroix has a primarily toponymic formation. Lacroix means “the cross” and may refer to a place near a cross, a sign, or devotional usage. 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.
