Gariépy is a surname mostly found in North America. The most ancient known bearer of the name is Jean Gariépy who lived in Montfort-en-Chalosse, Gascony, France, from 1568 to 1609.[1] His son, François Gariépy, came to Nouvelle-France where he married Marie Houdin in August 1657. Their children are the ancestors of the Gariépy of North America.
