Dit Boisdore is his ancestral French dit name. It identifies or distinguishes something about the person or family. Boisdore was also spelled Bois Dor, or Bois Dore in France. His dit name was carried from France to Nouvelle France and French Louisanne by his French Barbeau family. It refers to a master craftsman gold guilder or gold wood gilding. It remains a modern gold gilding definition. Dit Boisdore may have also referred to a French seigneury ( wood producing plantation) named Boisdore, Bois-Barbeau or Bois-Barbot in France. Eventually French dit name use was dropped as families became nationalized in North America and discontinued in France after the French Revolution. He received dit Boisdore from his father in Nouvelle France
