i'm not sure that this holds true for the Chartrain region/diocese.
off the top of my head i can think of two major Benedictine abbeys in the
diocese which went by this economical moniker:
--La T. of Vendome --certainly around from the early 11th c. and (i'm
ignorant) perhaps much earlier than that. a priory of the same dedication was
founded at Angers by Jeff the Hammer of Anjou before 1047.
--La T. of Tiron --founded around the hermitic cell of St. Bernard of Tiron,
very early 12th c.
just beyond the Chartres diocese, the Benedictine house of La T. of Morigny,
just outside Etampes, was also founded in the early years of c. 12.

there was also a church of La T. somewhere within the extraordinarily rambling
conglomeration of Etampes, which my very creaky memory tells me was a
relatively late foundation by Philip Augustus, on the site of the newly
remodled former Synagogue.
the hospital in Etampes is also dedicated to Those Guys, but i don't know from
what date --it began life, as did so many, as an appendage to the collegial of
St. Mary, the largest ecclesiastical institution in the town.
a quick and dirty Google suggests that there were La T.s at Fecamp, Falaise
and, of course, Caen (founded by Bill the Bastard?):

depends, of course, upon what the wonderfully elastic "relatively uncommon"
might mean here...
