Le Registrateur | The Registrar
The registrateur, or registrar, kept a register where various acts of a civil or legal nature were inscribed and recorded. He was the public gardian of registers. A register is a booklet, book, or directory of private or public nature intended to list facts, names or figures which should be recorded or remembered, or to attest to their exactitude.
Today, this occupation is called a registraire.
