Gabriel de Mortillet tops a list of 2 famous people born in Meylan

Gabriel de Mortillet (French anthropologist (1821-1898)) is the best known by our measure: 29 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Victor Gérard.

2 people born in Meylan 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.

Victor Gérard, born in 1767. The youngest on the list was born in 1821.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Meylan 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.
