Abaucourt (pronounced as /fr/) is a commune in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department in northeastern France.
One arrives in Abaucourt by the D45 by way of Nomeny (by the west) or by Létricourt (by the southwest). 2.6 km separates it from Nomeny and region 15 of Pont-à-Mousson.
Names ending in "court" come from the Latin "cortis", which indicated a farmyard. The name is applied to the farm itself, around which the village formed. Consequently, the etymology of the word Abaucourt could be considered as such :
Ab (preposition) = "of a different place"
Ad (preposition) = "at, towards, around"
Cortem, Cortis' = "of the court, farm, property"
