Jaboulay

Jaboulay is a surname of French origin. It is relatively uncommon and appears in historical records in France and nearby regions. The name is generally considered to be either patronymic, derived from a given name such as Jacob, or habitational, linked to a place-name formed with the typical medieval French suffix -lay or -lai.

In the records, individuals with the surname Jaboulay appeared from the 17th century onward, often in rural communities. Due to the nature of such records, precise biographical details are sparse for many bearers.

Today, bearers are most commonly found in France, with smaller communities in Switzerland and North America as a result of migration and diaspora.

In culture, Jaboulay is used as a surname for fictional characters in literature and film in some Francophone works, though it does not designate a widely recognized character or brand.
