Actually "fontaine" is the French word for "fontaine". Although the name "Fontenot" is clearly derived from it.
There are a lot of things we need to know about your characte to give an appropriate surname. First, is she French?
- Or does she have French ancestry and if so in which country does she live? In Ireland or the UK for example, French ancestry would most likely date from the Norman invasion. One common surname would be Devereux.
- If she is French, do you know from what region? In Brittany, she might be called Le Guirrec. In the Basque country she could be Arosteguy or Otchoa. In Corsica, she could be Albertini or Mattei.
Most generic French surnames would be Martin and Dupont. A lot of surnames involve where people lived in medieval times (Dubois means from the woods, Duchemin "on the path", Dupont "from the bridge", Legascon was from Gascogne) or what their occupation were (Carpentier, carpenter; Leforgeron was a blacksmith, Boulanger was a baker), social standing (Leduc was a duke, Lhermitte was an hermit) and sometimes some (unflattering) nicknames (Lescroc was a crook, Lefou a madman, and I would assume most people with swear words as names would have changed them by now so I'm not going to give these.)

This is what I got here up with: Charlotte Marianne Sophie/Sophia i'm not definite. Hope this helps! I surely relatively like the identify Lucienne as a primary title, even. It is a best name :)

I always liked Fontenot. It's the French translation of "Fontaine".
