French (Lagacé): soldier's name from l'agacé ‘the excited/irritated one’. This surname is very rare in France. Compare Lagasse 1, Legacy , Legasse , Legassey , and Legassie .
History: In North America, this surname was originally a secondary surname or dit (‘also called’) name, borne by Andre Mignier dit Lagacé (also Lagassé), a soldier from Le Bois-Plage-en-Ré in Charente-Maritime, France, who arrived in Canada in 1665. His descendants also bear altered forms of the dit name, such as Lagasse, Legacy, Legasse(y), and Legassie, and also altered forms of the surname (see Minier ).
