Duhaime is a real French name. My ancestors came from France to Quebec in 1635. My first ancestor was scalped. My original surname was Lemaître but it got changed to Duheme, later further changed to Duhaime. The “e” is silent and the surname sounds much different – some say better – when pronounced in French (and it rymes with the French word for “love”).
