The Morel dit Troyes is actually Michel Morel from Troyes, Champagne, France. He was known as Michel Morel dit Madore. He married Marie Grandin and lived in Trois Rivieres, Quebec. He died in 1671.
The Morel dit Parisien is actually Michel Morel from Paris, France. He lived in Montreal. He died in 1679.
Therefore Troyes and Parisien are not dit names but place names. Parisien translate to Parisian in english - meaning from Paris.
There were 2 Michel Morel in Quebec at that time 1660's. This was probably to tell them apart.
