I suppressed it from the list of the Norman surnames. The statement "is derived from Ouillette, itself from Ouilly, place-name in Calvados" is not serious.
Much of this article is WP:ORIGINAL. It has been tagged as needing additional citations for more than three years. Since no-one has stepped up to provide them, it is time for a prune. It also needs a good copyedit. "Among other things, the name Québec is not from Norman etymology" ... "The first settlers to Canada came from Normandy". The French Wikipedia doesn't even have an equivalent article, but it does say "Les colons français ... provenaient principalement de Paris, de l'Île-de-France et des provinces françaises d'Aunis, d'Anjou, de Bretagne, du Maine, de Normandie, de Bourgogne, du Pays-Basque, de Perche, de Picardie, du Poitou dont les Deux-Sèvres et la Vendée, de Saintonge et de Touraine." Or check this WP:COATRACK "Normans ... the name given ... to ... Vikings .... Their descendants, that completely mixed up with the local population ... It could be said that some of their ancestors were the first Europeans to discover North America in 1000 AD". Etc. -- Cornellier ( talk) 03:24, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
