Question:

What does the last name Deshautelle mean?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I've only seen it written Deshautels, its a popular French surname in Quebec. In the French language, if you break it down it means Des (the, for a plural article) haut is high and elle is her or she. I suggest looking in etymology sites if you are looking for a historical meaning rather than a translation.
