Use of the word 'versaire'

[Ian Anderson]

Can anyone advise me what the word versaire means?

 

In what circumstances would it be used, for example the term 'Versaire Jean Pierre' what would this mean?

 

Is it common parlance or a shortened version of another word or French slang?

It's a surname!

Dear Neil,

I don't think it is a surname because I have several examples such as 'versaire Alex 7 ans' and 'versaire Max 10 ans' and 'versaire Puteri'.

In the first two instances it seems like the word has been shortened from anniversaire but in the last version this is different. In all cases, these are titles to photo files.

Mmm in all honesty, I've not personally heard "versaire" used for "anniversaire", though if it was it would be understandable I suppose. (On the other hand, shortening it to "anni" is quite a common slang form.)

I wonder if originally the titles were actually "Anniversaire..." and something chopped off the beginning...?

Or, maybe it's just a slang form I haven't heard of. In any case, from what you say, it does seem plausaible that that's what is meant.

Neil is right, it's a surname. I know "anniversaire" and "adversaire" but not just "versaire".
