La Mort aux Juifs was a hamlet under the jurisdiction of the French commune of Courtemaux in the Loiret department in north-central France. Its name has been translated as "Death to Jews"[1][2] or "The death of the Jews".[3]

Origin of the name

The name dates to the 14th century. According to toponymist Pierre-Henri Billy,[4] the name was initially "la mare au juin″, which means "the liquid manure pond" in local old French. Like in other toponyms in the area, those words evolved, becoming ultimately "la Mort aux Juifs" with an intermediate form "la mare au Juif" quoted by the local historian Paul Gache.[5] The transformation of "mare" (pond) into "mort" (death) is very frequent in old French toponyms, and "juin" (liquid manure) would have become "juif" (Jew) in two steps, first a denasalization turning "juin" into "jui" and then a graphical change into "juif", which had the same pronunciation in old French.[4]

Name change

In August 2014, the Simon Wiesenthal Center petitioned the French government to change the name.,[6] which it claimed translates as "Death to the Jews", a translation rejected in France.[4][7] A similar request had been denied in 1992.[8] Under pressure from the national authorities however, the municipal council retired the name in January 2015.[9] The area is now split between the nearby hamlets of Les Croisilles and La Dogetterie.
