[Facts] Re: Reason for African American names using apostrophes?
I’m sorry you’re wrong the D apostrophe in DeAndre and the L apostrophe or L as in Lawanda are derivatives of the French and the Spanish who use DE to show the connotation of a certain family such as DeAngelo meaning of Angelo or la Wanda LA, LE in French are the preference for masculine or feminine nouns. All of that comes from the Spanish and the French what is perplexed a lot of people is that those who do not know how apostrophes German, umlauts and learn in law are used, randomly shove these grammatical devices into names, because they think it looks cute. It often leads to a lifetime of chronic mispronunciations, but they are derivatives of certain languages.
