Bolduc

Bolduc is a surname with French-Canadian origins, primarily found in Quebec and New England. The name is derived from the Old French word “bol” meaning “a rounded trunk or log” and “duc” meaning “a leader or commander.” It was originally used as a nickname for someone who was strong and sturdy, like a tree trunk. Today, Bolduc is a relatively uncommon surname but has been carried by notable individuals such as Canadian politician Georges-Philippe Bolduc and American writer and translator Alice Bolduc.
