jusquaux

Jusquaux is a French surname and, less commonly, a toponymic element. The name is likely toponymic in origin, derived from the prepositional phrase jusqu'à meaning "up to" or "as far as," with the suffix -aux, a characteristic ending in several French place names. Historically, such toponyms would designate boundaries, limits of domains, or routes that stopped at a given point. The orthography jusqu'à itself is the standard form in modern French; the single-word form "Jusquaux" may appear in older records or as a family name, but it is not a standard variant of the phrase.

There is no widely recognized commune or town in current French administration named Jusquaux. The term survives
