History of the town of d’Athis-de-l’Orne in Normandy
d’Athis-de-l’Orne, a commune in the Orne department of Lower Normandy, has a name deriving from the terms ‘Aties’ or ‘Atties’, linked to the Latin ‘Attegioe’, meaning small cabin or hut. Historically divided into six fiefs, the lordship of Athis was initially under the Renouf d’Athis family before 1300 and later transferred to the house of Falaise in 1388. By the mid-fifteenth century, ‘Renneville’ became the primary authority of the manor, marking a significant shift in the town’s feudal structure.
