The locality of Chaffaut appeared for the first time in the textes between 1064 and 1079 (in Kadalfucho ). The term comes from the north-occitan translating cadalfac, naming a house with an outside staircase and a balcony according to Ernest Nègre, from catafalicum, meaning scaffold or siege tower according to Bénédicte and Jean-Jacques Fénié.
