Another possible source for the D' prefix

Many modern and African American names begin with D'/De/Di. In some cases it seems to represent the French, Italian, or Spanish preposition meaning "from", but in other cases it looks to be purely decorative. Sometimes it helps form a variant of a more established name, for example De'borah (Deborah ) and De'lores (Delores ).
