I don't know the meaning of the name but I what I can tell you is that Louis Robichaud was born in a village called La Chausée in the Poitou (in the West of France) in 1607 was among the first French settlers in Arcadia (Canada). The name is in the local dialect. http://www.geocities.com/reneblais20/histrobichaud.htm
