Saint-Maur-des-Fossés is named after Saint-Maur Abbey, founded in 638 by Queen Nanthild, regent for her son Clovis II, at Fossati in Medieval Latin, Les Fossés in modern French. This place, located at the narrow entrance of a loop where the river Marne made its way around a rocky outcrop, was probably named after the moats of an ancient Celtic oppidum and later a Roman castrum; at the time of the marauding Bagaudae who defended Christians from Roman persecution, the site was known as Castrum Bagaudarum. As a result of their location so far from a Roman frontier, Christian scholars attributed massive foundations to villas or temples. Gallo-Roman villas in the royal fisc were repeatedly donated as monastic sites in Merovingian times.

Sanctus Petrus Fossatensis, meaning “Saint Peter of the Moats” in Medieval Latin, was the abbey dedicated to Saint Peter, Saint Paul, and the Virgin Mary. By 638, it had been founded by the archdeacon of Paris, Blidegisil. Saint Babolen (died c. 671) was one of the early abbots. During the Viking invasion of Le Thoureil in 868, King Charles the Bald invited the monks of Saint-Maur de Glanfeuil to relocate to Saint Pierre des Fossés with their precious relics of Saint Maurus.

Saint Pierre des Fossés became one of the most famous pilgrimage centers of medieval France due to the relics of Saint Maurus, which were said to heal gout and epilepsy. The rededication to Saint Maurus, in which the abbey was renamed Saint-Maur-des-Fossés (“Saint Maurus of the Moats”), was justified by the story that prayers to Saint Maur during a drought in 1137 after prayers to the Virgin and Saints Peter and Paul had failed, brought the rains that were needed.
