The naming ceremony takes place at the end of the first year. The third battalion (1st year students) take their name before progressing into the 2nd battalion. Name are typically hostircal events or historical military personailities. The class name is often used to denote the time the cadet studied at the school. https://www.f-sc.org/Les-activites-des-eleves-officiers

2016-19 class was so named on 22 July 2017. The "debaptism" of the class was without precident since WWII. Announcement was made 17 November 2018 by General Jean-Pierre Bosser, Chief of Staff of the Army. Loustanau-Lacau had become a celebrated figure of the far right in France. He had been removed from the army in 1938 for anti-communist activities. Tried at the end of the war and found innocent he was rehabilitated and promoted to General the day before his death. Each class choses its name in a process involving the cadets and the commander of the school. LOpinion stated that it showed the right wing tendancies of the traditional french officer class.The Defense Historical Service (SHD) in Vincennes is consulted on the choice of name, but only the symbology section not the historians - a cursory check of L-L's military record showed a stellar career. Concenrs were raised at a June 2018 symposium on military resistance organised by SHD and SciencesPo. The class offered to pay a tribute to Loustanau-Lacau at the symposium but historians raised the chequered past. The SHD conducted reseatch and sent a note to the political and military authorities raising concerns over the name. Tehy secured a copy of a letter from L-L to the German ambassador in August 1940 offering hi services, via the German Army histoircal service. The class was debaptised ahead of potential embarrassment at the annual 14 July parade on the Champs Elysees. No sanctions were made but the process has been reformed so that the SHD now carries out a full historical research into the namesake of any future class. https://www.lopinion.fr/blog/secret-defense/saint-cyr-coetquidan-promotion-loustaunau-lacau-figure-d-extreme-169088

The class of 1940-42 later raised concerns over their name - the collaborationist Marshal Petain but was advised by General de Gaulle that the naming of a class of St Syr is a historic moment and must be kept no matter whay happens. French General and commander of the school Bruno Dary laid the blame at the door of the defence historical service who he said had vetted the name. Dary stated that L-L was a hero of both world wars who had, at one time, made questionable decisions and writings, when viewed from the modern viewpoint. https://www.saint-cyr.org/article/la-saint-cyrienne-et-la-general-loustaunau-lacau/19/11/2018/950?fbclid=IwAR1HEWvQpo9eJdvqEYuO3Du8Jhoz77YWbAzss1BoDBHsoExUaVZZAYqBOVc

The 2018 class was originally named for General Georges Loustaunau-Lacau, a French army officer who was staunchly anti-communist. He served Vichy France before joining the French resistance for which he was imprisoned in Mauthausen concentration camp. However he was known to have made anti-semitic marks in the inter-war period https://www.bvoltaire.fr/on-debaptise-une-promotion-de-saint-cyr-alors-debaptisons-aussi-la-derniere-promotion-de-lena/

The first named class was the 13th (1830-32) which was known as the Firmament. The origin is unknown but refers to the highest of the four celestial spheres in Greek mythology. Home to the stars and the gods. May derived from the symbolic baton of a Marshal of France which is blue with stars, with which every cadet would be familiar and aspire to. https://www.saint-cyr.org/medias/editor/files/1830-1832-13e-promotion-sans-nom.pdf

p151: There was a trend from the late 1870s for classes to take colonial names. Inspired by the increasing prestige of France marines and colonial forces. Between then at the WWI fully half of all names had colonial roots - including "Zulu", "Khroumire" and "Sudan". This co-incided with a time where it was fashionable for cadets to chose to serve in the marines. Prior to this the marine infantry were often left with the lowest ranked cadets in their class. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=SiCRnNwl3EYC&pg=PA151&dq=st+cyr+class+names&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi3s-uhu_rhAhWHWxUIHWJuAmIQ6AEILjAB#v=onepage&q=st%20cyr%20class%20names&f=false

p35. Class of 1940 was subject to an accelerated 6 mopnth course instead of the usual 2 years and graduated 16 March. Chose the name "Franco-British Friendship". https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=uz8EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA35&dq=st+cyr+class+names&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi3s-uhu_rhAhWHWxUIHWJuAmIQ6AEIKjAA#v=onepage&q=st%20cyr%20class%20names&f=false

"Especially important was the choice of a class name, usually based on a famous hero or current historical event." p16 https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=NxYiAQAAIAAJ

"What in America we term classes, in Saint-Cyr are termed promotions or promos. For decades each promo bears a name chosen by the cadets themselves, the name generally of some person, historical incident or locality. " 0177 https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4VtmAAAAMAAJ

"After coordinating with the national military history and heraldry sections, one name is approved. ... Rather than “Class of '99," graduates simply identify themselves as “Promotion General La Lande." p71 https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=pOTMIzry0SgC

121 1934-1936 du Roi Alexandre 1er de Yougoslavie "King Alexander I of Yugoslavia" who was assassinated in Marseille on 9 October 1934 during a state visit to France. In 1935 a Yugoslav government delegation visited the academy to mark the assassination. A detachment of Serbian cadets presented each French cadet with a badge in memory of Alexander I. This received retrospective approval by the ministry of war and is now regarded as the first class insignia. [17]
120 1933-1935 du Roi Albert 1er "King Albert I", ruler of Belgium who died on 17 February 1934. [18]
119 1932-1934 de Bournazel After Captain Henri de Bournazel [fr], a French cavalry officer who was killed in action on 28 February 1933 during the final stages of the French conquest of Morocco. [19][20]
118 1931-1933 du Tafilalet After the French name for the Tafilalt region of Morocco, one of the last regions of the territory to be pacified. A French governor was apppointed for the region in January 1932. [21]
117 1930-1932 Joffre After Joseph Joffre, commander-in-chief of French forces on the Western Front 1914-16 [22]
116 1929-1931 Mangin After Charles Mangin, a colonial and First World War French general who had died in 1925. The name had previously been chosen for the 111th class (1924-26) but had been vetoed on that occasion by the Minister of War Paul Painlevé. [23][24]
115 1928-1930 Maréchal Foch "Marshal Foch" after the French general who was appointed Supreme Allied Commander in May 1918. [25][26]
114 1927-1929 Maréchal Galliéni "Marshal Gallieni" after the French general and military governor of Paris during the 1914 Battle of the Marne. Gallieni died in 1916 and was posthumously made a marshal of France in 1921. [27]
113 1926-1928 du Sous-Lieutenant Pol Lapeyre "Second Lieutenant Pol Lapeyre [fr]", after the French army officer and Saint-Cyr graduate who was besieged at Beni Derkoul during the Rif War. On 15 June 1925 after 61 days under siege, and with the post about to fall into enemy hands, he detonated the magazine killing himself but preventing the ammunition from being captured. [28]
112 1925-1927 du Maroc et Syrie "Morocco and Syria" in recognition of progress made by French forces in the pacification of Morocco and the suppression of the Great Syrian Revolt. [29]
111 1924-1926 du Rif The class was originally to have been named after General Charles Mangin who died in May 1925. Mangin's support for the establishment of a Rhenish Republic in French-occupied Germany was opposed by the Minister of War Paul Painlevé who vetoed the name. General Albert Tanant [fr] formally named the class du Rif in June 1925. This name was chosen to reflect the Rif War in Spanish Morocco, in which France intervened earlier that year. The choice was controversial as the war was going badly at the time and the class did not want to carry the name of a defeat. [24]
110 1923-1925 du Chevalier Bayard "Knight Bayard" to mark the 400th anniversary of the death of the French knight Pierre Terrail, seigneur de Bayard at the 1524 Battle of the Sesia. [30]
109 1922-1924 de Metz et Strasbourg After the two principal cities of Alsace-Lorraine which was restored to France at the end of the First World War. [31]
108 1921-1923 du Souvenir "Remembrance" in recognition of the unveiling on 20 May 1921 of a memorial listing the 4,865 school graduates killed during the First World War. As a mark of honour the President of France Alexandre Millerand also awarded the school the Croix de Guerre, which was borne on its flag cravat (a piece of fabric hung from the finial). [32]
107 1920-1922 de la Devise du Drapeau "The flag motto" in recognition of the motto Ils s’instruisent pour vaincre ("They study to vanquish") that was added to the school flag on 3 December 1921. This motto had been used by the school during the First French Empire. [33]
106 1920-1921 de la Dernière de la Grande Guerre "The last of the Great War as this class was the last to admit veterans of the First World War alongside the usual entrants taken direct from school. [34]
105 1919-1921 de la Garde au Rhin "The Guard on the Rhine" in recognition of the restoration of Alsace, whose border with Germany was the Rhine river, to France. The class, which included 104 new entrants as well as the 41 remaining from the 104th class, had requested to be named after General Édouard de Castelnau, an army group commander during the First World War. Castelnau declined the honour and suggested the class name themselves after the new border. [35]
104 1919-1920 des Croix de Guerre 1914-1918 "The Crosses of War" after the Croix de Guerre medal that was held by almost all of those in this class. Many officers who joined during the First World War had no opportunity to take the school entrance exams when classes resumed in 1916. Instead at the war's end some 1,000 veterans with temporary commissions attended a four month course at the army's non-commisisoned officer school. Afterwards 291 were admitted to Saint-Cyr; the 250 who had held temporary officer commissions graduated 8 July 1920 while the remainder, former NCOs, graduated in the 105th class in 1921. [36]
103 1918-1920 Victoire "Victory" in honour of the allied victory in the First World War [37]
102 1917-1918 La Fayette "La Fayette" after the French name of Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, a French officer who fought in the American War of Independence and the French Revolution. The class selected the name as they graduated in July 1918 and Lafayette was famous for his role in the 1830 July Revolution. [38]
101 1917-1918 de Sainte Odile "Saint Odile", in honour of the patron saint of Alsace, which it was hoped to reclaim during the First World War. This class was admitted to the school simultaneously with that of the 102nd class but had received around 4 months prior instruction by veteran officers and non-commissioned officers at regimental depots. They were split into separate platoons at the school and the 101st class graduated early, on 20 February 1918. [38]
100 1916-1917 des drapeaux et de l'amitié Américaine "Flags and American friendship". This class was the first to graduate during the war. It participated in the 14 July 1917 parade in Paris to mark the American entry into the war. The school flag was carried by this class at the parade and the class desired to take this name. The school authorities preferred a name that related to the United States to mark financial contributions made by American citizens to the families of St Cyr graduates killed during the war. A combined name was assigned but, feeling that it had been imposed upon them the class opted to be known unofficially as the Centième (the "hundreth") after their class number. [39]
99 1914 de la Grande Revanche "The great revenge" after the revanchist movement in France that sought to restore the province of Alsace-Lorraine, lost after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. This class did not formally enter the academy, having only sat their entry examination and being partway through the entry interviews when the First World War broke out in July 1914. The cadets were instead sent to regimental depots immediately where they received intensive instruction, before being appointed as second lieutenants in December 1914; though some managed to arrange earlier postings. Lacking the usual naming ceremony this class was formally named by Général de Division Louis de Garnier des Garets, president of the academy, in January 1915. The survivors of this class returned to the academy after the war to complete their course, alongside the 98th class. [40][41]
98 1913-1914 de la Croix du Drapeau "The cross of the flag" to mark the 1914 award of the legion of honour to the academy. The academy incorporated a representation of the award's cross on the cravat (a piece of fabric hung from the finial) of its flag. This class graduated early (after just ten months instructed) to be commissioned as second lieutenants due to the outbreak of the First World War. The class returned after the war to formally complete their training at the academy, [42]
97 1912-1914 de Montmirail "Montmirail" to mark the 1814 battle where Napoleon defeated Russian and Prussian force. In 1913 the army's policy changed such that the year cadets served with the regiments would now be carried out as a "sandwich" year between two years at the academy (rather than comprising the first year of training). This class graduated in 1914, after two years training, as part of a transition into the new system. [43]
96 1911-1914 des Marie-Louise "Marie-Louise" after the nickname for the conscripts of 1814-15, who were raised under the authority of Marie Louise, Empress of France. These troops were used to supplement the veterans of the Grande Armée in Napoleon's later campaigns. [44]
95 1910-1913 de la Moskova "The Moskva", the French name for the Battle of Borodino where Napoleon defeated the Russians on 7 September 1812 [45]
94 1909-1912 de Fès "Fez", which was then the capital of Morocco. In 1911 French troops arrived in the city to relieve Sultan Abd al-Hafid who had been beseiged by rebels. This marked the start of direct French intervention in the territory and triggered the Agadir Crisis, a dispute with Germany. [46]
93 1908-1911 de Mauritanie "Mauritania" to mark the arrival of French forces under Henri Gouraud at Atar in 1909 as part of a campaign to pacify the colony. [47]
92 1907-1910 du Maroc "Morocco" to mark the commencement of the French conquest of that territory in 1907. [48]
91 1906-1909 du Centenaire de l’Ecole "The centenary of the school" to mark the 100th anniversary of the relocation of the academy from Fontainebleau to Saint-Cyr-l'École in July 1808. [49]
90 bis (additional) 1906-1908 des Cinq "The five". A change of policy was implemented on 21 March 1905 which required officer candidates to serve one year in the army before joining the academy. The first year was considered their initial class year so subsequently all classes became three years long rather than two. In the class of 1906 five candidates had already served and so were permitted to join the academy as a special case. They completed their studies alongside 90th and 91st classes and were commissioned as second lieutenants in 1908 (the only officers to graduate from the school in that year). The 1912 academy yearbook defines the five as a separate class but subsequent directories list them as part of the 91st class. The Saint Cyrienne historical association refers to it as the 90th bis (additional) class. [50]
90 1905-1907 la Dernière du Vieux Bahut "The last of the old chest". From 21 March 1905 it was decreed that officer candidates must spend a year in the ranks before joining the academy. In compensation graduates were required to spend one less year in the rank of second lieutenant before being promoted. The class of 1905-1907 were the last to follow the old system and took this name in recognition. Subsequent classes were considered to be of three years duration (counting the year spent with the army), rather than two years as previous. [50]
89 1904-1906 du Centenaire d'Austerlitz "The centenary of Austerlitz" after the 1805 battle in which Napoleon defeated a combined Russian and Austrian force. [51]
88 1903-1905 de La Tour-d'Auvergne "La Tour d'Auvergne" after Théophile Corret de la Tour d'Auvergne (1743 – 1800), a French army officer that was honoured by Napoleon Bonaparte [52]
87 1902-1904 du Sud-Oranais "South Oran" after an area of Algeria occupied by General Hubert Lyautey from 1903 to put down revolts against French rule (including the September 1903 Battle of El-Moungar). [53]
86 1901-1903 du centenaire de la Légion d'honneur "Centenary of the Legion of Honour" which had been founded in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte. [54]
85 1900-1902 du Tchad "Chad" to commemorate the incorporation of that territory as a French colony in 1900. This followed the defeat of Rabih az-Zubayr by Amédée-François Lamy at the Battle of Kousséri, during which both men were killed. [55]
84 1899-1901 d'In Salah "In Salah" after an oasis in Algeria captured by French forces in 1900. The class had originally proposed the name "Villebois-Mareuil" after George Henri Anne-Marie Victor de Villebois-Mareuil, a French colonel who fought and died on the side of the Boers during the 1899-1902 war against the British. This proposal was refused on diplomatic grounds. [56][57]
83 1898-1900 Marchand "Marchand" after Jean-Baptiste Marchand who commanded French forces in the 1898 Fashoda Incident, a confrontation with British forces in Eastern Africa. [58]
82 1897-1899 de Bourbaki "Bourbaki" after Charles-Denis Bourbaki, a French general who died in 1897. He commanded Napoleon III's Imperial Guard during the Franco-Prussian War. He later commanded the Armée de l'Est and Armée du Nord and defeated the Prussians at the 1871 Battle of Villersexel. [59]
81 1896-1898 la Première des Grandes Manœuvres "The first of the grand manoeuvres" after the 1897 military exercise, which was the first large-scale war game for the French army. The class had originally requested to be named d'Aumale after Henri d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale, the victor of the Battle of the Smala who died in 1897. This request was denied by the government of the French Third Republic who did not wish to honour a son of the last king of France. [60]
80 1895-1897 de Tananarive "Antananarivo" the capital of the Kingdom of Madagascar that was captured by the French under General Jacques Duchesne on 30 September 1895. [61]
79 1894-1896 d'Alexandre III "Alexander III" after the Russian Tsar who died in 1894 and was responsible for concluding the Franco-Russian Alliance. [62]
78 1893-1895 de Jeanne d'Arc "Joan of Arc" after the French heroine of the Hundred Years' War who had become popular at this time. [63]
77 1892-1894 du Siam "Siam" after the 1893 Franco-Siamese War, which resulted in a French victory and creation of the protectorate of Laos [64]
76 1891-1893 du Soudan "Sudan" in honour of the pacification of French Sudan (modern-day Mali) that had begun under General Louis Faidherbe and been completed under General Joseph Gallieni [65]
75 1890-1892 de Cronstadt "Kronstadt" after the Russian Baltic Sea port visited by a French fleet in 1891 to exchange letters of agreement that formed the basis of the Franco-Russian Alliance. [66][67]
74 1889-1891 du Dahomey "Dahomey" after the First Franco-Dahomean War, an 1890 French victory. [68]
73 1888-1890 du Grand Triomphe The "great triumph" after the name of the traditional ceremony in which cadets graduate from the academy. Traditionally a barrel was set up in the courtyard and shot with a mortar.
