Musquar Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

There is a good possibility that the origins of this name are from a little city in the south of France. The name of that city is Mus. The city is in the department of the Gard. The department itself got his name from the river that goes through that department. The department was only created in 1790. As the family with that name lives already at least since 1550 in the area of Nancy, it's possible that their ancestors moved some time after the 12th century to the region around Nancy. Family names started to develop in the 11th century in the south of France.
