[121] Bonivard places its origin in 1518, and writes Eiguenots. (Chroniq. ii. p. 331.) The Registers of the Council have it under the date of 3rd of May, 1520, and read Eyguenots. In 1521 we find in the trial of B. Toquet, Ayguinocticæ sectæ. (Galiffe, Matériaux, &c. ii. p. 164.) We come upon it later in 1526: Traitre Eyguenot. (Ibid. p. 506.) In the same year: Tu es Eguenot. (Ibid. p. 508.) Lastly, Michel Roset in his Chronicle (liv. i. ch. lxxxix.) generally writes Huguenot. In the sixteenth century as well as in the nineteenth nicknames have often passed from Geneva to France.
