Geographic Concentration
The majority of historical acts regarding the Ravignats,
and there are not many, are found in the in the Walloon part of Belgium, in the
regions of l’Hesbaye and Namur; in the areas of North-Eastern France (Lorraine,
departments of Vosges, and Meurthe and Moselle); and the Septfontaines region
in the extreme West of Luxembourg. Holders of this name are therefore very
rare: there are approximately 5 in Luxembourg, 81 in Belgium and 16 in Canada who share the name today.
