Dieppe is a commune in the Seine-Maritime department in France. In 1999, the population of the whole Dieppe urban area was 81,419.
A port on the English Channel, famous for its scallops, and with a regular ferry service from the Gare Maritime to Newhaven in England, Dieppe also has a popular pebbled beach, a 15th-century castle and the churches of Saint-Jacques and Saint-Remi.
The inhabitants of the town of Dieppe are called Dieppois (m) and Dieppoise (f) in French.
Toponymy
Mentioned as Deppae in 1015-1029, Dieppa in 1030, then in the 12th century: Deppa, Deupa and Diopa.
From Old English deop > deep, or Old Norse djupr, same meaning. Same adjectiv can be recognized in the different Dieppedalle (f. e. Saint-Vaast-Dieppedalle) and Dipdal of Normandy, same as Deepdale in Great-Britain.
The stream running through Dieppe was called Tella in the Merovingian and Carolingian documents, before being called Dieppe in the 10th century. The name remains for the city, but the stream changed its name again for Béthune.
History
First recorded as a small fishing settlement in 1030, Dieppe was an important prize fought over during the Hundred Years' War. Dieppe housed the most advanced French school of cartography in the 16th century, and was the premier port of the kingdom in the 17th century. On July 23, 1632, 300 colonists heading to New France departed from Dieppe. At the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, Dieppe lost 3,000 of its Huguenot citizens, who fled abroad.
Dieppe was an important target in wartime; the town was largely destroyed by an Anglo-Dutch naval bombardment in 1694. Rebuilt after 1696, it was popularised as a seaside resort following the 1824 visit of the widowed Duchess of Berry, Charles X's daughter-in-law. She encouraged the building of the recently-renovated municipal theatre, the Petit-Theatre (1825), associated particularly with Camille Saint-Saëns.
During the later 19th century, Dieppe became popular with English artists as a beach resort. Prominent literary figures such as Arthur Symons loved to keep up with the latest fads of avant-garde France here, and during "the season" sometimes stayed for weeks on end.
The Dieppe Raid in the Second World War became known as a bloody battle, and a costly one for the Allies. On August 19, 1942, Allied soldiers, mainly drawn from the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division, landed at Dieppe in the hope of occupying the town for a short time, gaining intelligence and drawing the Luftwaffe into open battle. The Allies suffered more than 1,400 deaths, 1,946 Canadian soldiers were captured - more prisoners than the army lost in the 11 months of the 1944-45 NW Europe campaign.[4] But no major objectives were achieved. Dieppe was liberated on September 1, 1944 by soldiers from the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division.
Dieppe, New Brunswick (previously Léger Corner) received its present name in 1946, in honour of the Canadian soldiers killed in the Dieppe Raid.

Dieppe est une commune française située dans le département de la Seine-Maritime et la région Haute-Normandie.
Les plus anciennes attestations du nom remontent au XIe siècle : Deppae (1015-1029), Dieppa (1030), puis au XIIe siècle : Deppa, Deupa ou encore Diopa.
Ce nom est emprunté à une appellation transitoire de la rivière qui se jette en ce lieu dans la Manche. Cette rivière appelée Tella dans les textes mérovingiens et carolingiens, est désignée Dieppe (Deppae 1015-1029) après l'installation de colons anglo-scandinaves, avant de prendre le nom de Béthune (la Béthune se jette dans l'Arques près d'Arques-la-Bataille) "qui en l'état de nos informations n'est pas attesté avant le XVIe siècle"2.
Le nom de Dieppe représente soit l'anglo-saxon deop profond, soit le norrois djupr de même sens. Cet adjectif se retrouve dans d'autres toponymes normands : Saint-Vaast-Dieppedalle, Dieppedalle (Canteleu) ou Dipdal (Cotentin) et qui signifient vallée profonde. Par contre, l'homophonie avec Dieppe-sous-Douaumont (Despia 984) est fortuite.
Ce fleuve a longtemps séparé la ville en deux quartiers, est et ouest. Le quartier est aurait pris l'appellation du Pollet par la contraction linguistique « Port de l'Est ». On a également retrouvé dans des documents l'appellation « Port de l'Ouest ».
Le Pollet est désormais une presqu'île depuis le creusement, en 1848, d'un bassin supplémentaire au port.
