The name of this municipality was chosen to pay tribute to Monsignor Paul Bruchési, who had just been consecrated Archbishop of the Diocese of Montreal in 1897. The name Île-aux-Noix has been well established for nearly two centuries. It refers to both a military establishment dating back to 1759 and a stretch of land opposite the municipality, and highlights the large number of walnut trees that once covered the island.[1]
