Garcon

The name Garcon arrived in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. It is a name for a young boy who worked as a valet or servant to a nobleman which is derived from the French root garcon, which literally means boy. The surname Garcon was first found in Yorkshire where they held a family seat from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.
