People
Fourcade is one of several orthographic variants, that began to appear in the 17th century, of the ancient family name Forcade. The name has its origins in the 12th century, in the Kingdom of Navarre, in particular in Béarn in Lower Navarre, after they separated in 1512. Several noble branches of the family were Huguenots following the Reformation in early 16th century Béarn and emigrated to the Kingdom of Prussia, the Netherlands and other Protestant countries following the Edict of Fontainebleau, which revoked the Edict of Nantes in 1685.
