various places in northern France: Beaumais-sur-Dire in Calvados,
Beaumetz in Somme, or any of three places called Beaumetz in
Pas-de-Calais. They are named in Old French as beu ‘fair’,
‘lovely’ + més ‘dwelling’. Compare Mas. A place

of the same origin, first mentioned in the 13th century; it is
possible that in some cases the surname is from this place.
