What does the name Lebeau mean?

Dear Bou, 

The name Lebeau appears in Shakespeare's play "As You Like It". It is
a name that appears in this play, and most sites trace the origin to
Shakespeare.

The word "beau" means "fair, beautiful" in French (and describes a
young gentleman, an "admirer" and "lover" consequently in English) and
since "Le" is equal to the English "the" in this case, it is safe to
assume, that Lebeau means "the beautiful".

Thank you for the rating!

I won't argue with that, just wonder if Shakespeare is the source for
the family name here where I live, where French surnames are usually
Huguenot, but that, of course, does not change the meaning of the
name, just suggests that it was a "telling" surname before or
independent of WS's using it.
