About the Lapointe surname
The surname Lapointe has a primarily toponymic formation. Lapointe refers to a point of land, cape, or place characterized by a pointed shape. 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.
