Marie-Thérèse Morlet (Guise, Aisne, November 18, 1913 - July 9, 2005[1]) was a French scholar (specialist in onomastics)[2] and honorary director of research at CNRS.
Her publications include Dictionnaire étymologique des noms de famille (Etymological Dictionary of Family Names).
Her book Les noms de personne sur le territoire de l'ancienne Gaule du VIe au XIIe siècle (Personal Names in the Territory of the former Gaul from the 4th to the 13th Century, abbreviated NPAG) is an anthroponymical dictionary covering the evolution of names in France up to the Middle Ages.
The work is published by the CNRS, structured as a series of alphabetical lists and made up of three volumes. The title of the third volume is slightly different: Les noms de personne sur le territoire de l'ancienne Gaule (Personal Names in the Territory of the former Gaul).
The three volumes of NPAG are referenced in the works of Ernest Nègre Toponymie générale de la France (volume 1, 1990). The geographical study corresponds to modern France with the work of Ernest Nègre on ancient Gaul with publications by Marie-Thérèse Morlet.
A number of personal names is preceded in NPAG with an asterisk (*). One example are the forms ending with -acum, the name forms with a proprietary name, one example includes the name *Stirpius (derived from *Stirpiacum in which is the etymology of Étréchy) with the explication: The name [of a person] comes from stirps, souche in French; from E. Nègre (TGF § 6359).
