Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. shares both his first name and his middle name with his father, Joseph Robinette Biden Sr., who passed away in 2002 at the age of 86. Robinette was the maiden name of Joseph Biden Sr.'s mother, Mary Elizabeth (née Robinette) Biden, who died at 48 years old in 1943, when Joe Biden Jr. was less than a year old.
The surname Robinette was first found in Brittany where this distinguished family held a family seat in the seigneurie of Plessix where they were members of the aristocracy in that region. This name goes back to Robert Robinault, squire and Lord of Budorais, who lived in 1478.
