Family name origins & meanings

  • Italian : possibly from an augmentative of an unattested personal name Migno, or alternatively from French Mignon ‘pleasing’.
  • French : nickname from French mignon(ne) (see Migneault), meaning ‘sweetheart’ or ‘lover’. This may also be a descriptive name from Old French mignon ‘beggar’.
