ACADEMY OF SAINT GABRIEL REPORT 3391 http://www.s-gabriel.org/3391 ************************************ 27 Apr 2009 From: Julia Smith Greetings from the Academy of Saint Gabriel! You wrote back to us to make a few further enquiries regarding the report we wrote for you regarding and related names. [1] You specifically asked about the pronunciation of the Occitan name and the form that a French byname (rather than an Occitan one) derived from a father named would take. This is what we have found. An Occitan would most likely have been pronounced \djoo-lee-OH-tah\, with a secondary stress on the first syllable (the \dj\ represents the sound in 'judge,' and \oo\ the sound in 'moon'). The byname is found in northern France in 1399; it also appears as a given name in 1253 and 1324 as ; we think either spelling would be appropriate for a French woman around 1300. [2] would be a lovely French name c. 1300. I hope this letter has been useful. Please write us again if any part of it has been unclear or if you have other questions. I was assisted in researching and writing this letter by Ursula Georges, and Aryanhwy merch Catmael.
