The surname is not widely prevalent globally but is primarily found in France and in countries with historical French migration, such as Canada (particularly Quebec) and the United States. Variations in spelling might exist due to regional dialects and historical transcription practices. Genealogical research indicates a presence of the Poissart family name across various regions of France, with no single origin point definitively established as the sole source of the surname. The name's distribution reflects historical patterns of settlement and movement within France and its diaspora.
