الملخص EN

In the late nineteenth century, the French administration issued the system of surnames, this was on March 23rd, 1882.

It stated that Algerians' surnames should be replaced and substituted by last names which are not genealogical.

In our article we're going to discuss the genealogical system before in the Aures region before and after the regulation of March 23rd, 1882 taking as a model for the study the villages of: Tadjmout – Kimel – Zalatou.

We have studied the relationship between the surnames of some families from the Aures region and the names of some of the places where they live.

Are these names of patronymic or toponymic origin? what is the relation between them? Are they related to man's attachment to his land or the ancestor's state which colonialism tried to eradicate by applying a law organizing surnames?
