Origny’s famous people span 182 years: 2 births from 1775 to 1957

Jean-Baptiste Godart (French entomologist (1775-1825)) is the best known by our measure: 8 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Guy Mauffroy.

2 people born in Origny have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one).

Among its famous people, scientists and doctors: 1 of the 2. That is 50% of the town’s list, against 7% across French towns.

Jean-Baptiste Godart, born in 1775. The youngest on the list was born in 1957.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Origny itself, matched by its INSEE code (a commune merged into it counts when the dates allow), whose French Wikipedia article agrees, and their English article too when they have one. A hospital or neighbourhood recorded without its commune isn’t matched. People who only lived here, adult performers and people known mainly for crimes aren’t listed.

Their Wikidata birthplace may be a hospital, a neighbourhood or a wider area, another commune, or missing, or their articles may not name a birthplace. We only list people the sources agree on; editing Wikidata or Wikipedia changes this page at the next refresh.
