Lizotte Family History
Lizotte Name Meaning
Altered form of French Lizot itself a variant of Lizet or Liset: nickname from Old French liset ‘vine weevil’; alternatively perhaps from a pet form of the personal names Élise or Élizabeth (see Elizabeth ). Altered ending reflects the Canadian and American French practice of sounding the final -t. The surname Lizotte is also found in France where it is very rare. Compare Lezotte .
