Jean Scholastique Pitton (1621 – 1689) was a French writer and historian. He was the author of a History of the city of Aix (1666), considered of some usefulness by his successors, although badly ordered and badly written. His later writings received better reviews.

Lovely. I really like Scholastica, but this is just totally different and not such an obvious nun name. This version seems actually usable.

Not given at all in france. Also, it sounds like a noun or an adjective, not a proper name.

Scholastique is also the French form of the male name Scholasticus.
As such, Scholastique really is a unisex name in France - though probably far more common for girls than for boys.
Also, the name can also be variantly spelled Scolastique.

Scholastique of Champagne (d. 1219) was a daughter of Henry I of Champagne and Marie of France, a daughter of Eleanor of Aquitaine. I found it odd that she was given this name, as it's an unusual name among medieval royalty, despite the saint association, and medieval royalty usually reused the same names.
