Surname

The place is attested as Xonruz in 1593, other forms of name are Xonrux (1593), Xonrup (1670) and Xonrupt (1777).

The syllable -rupt is derived from -ru , "Bach". The spelling "ru-pt" comes across later.

Albert Dauzat (1877–1955) understood the Xon- as the original summum and therefore initially interpreted the name Xonrupt as a whole as "creek in the altitude" or "upper creek". As a result of his collaboration with Charles Rostaing , Daurat came to the opinion that Xon- could be derived from the Germanic name Sivo , which also applies to Xonville in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department, which is attested in 849 as Sione villa .

history

The municipality was created on October 22, 1919 when it was separated from the Gérardmer area. In 1938 the parish name was expanded from Xonrupt to Xonrupt-Longemer .
