Yes that is how it's pronounced. I had a great uncle with that name but
also I am of French (Acadian) ancestry. There is sir name common here that
is DuBois. It is pronounced 'do bwa' and it means 'of the wood/woods'. My
maiden name is Dupre' and this is pronounced 'do pray' and it means 'of
the meadow or lea'. It's a beautiful language, this Acadian French, I grew
up with but it blends both the Parisian and Acadian and sometimes makes for
some odd pairings.

Vejas,
Jaws pronounces it correctly, so what surprises me is how it's spelled.
Thanks for posting.

Hi
I hope I'm still "playing by the rules", but what I have
presented to you is a very interesting name.
You've probably all heard of Francois-it's French-Canadian. And
lots of you probably thought it was either pronounced "fran-coiz)
or "fran-coy."
But some of you may be shocked (I'm sure I was) when I found out
it's pronounced like this:
fran-swa
Of course many of you may know this already, but I just thought
this was very interesting so I decided to post it.
Vejas
