Ironically, this thread is about "cajun" names. The word CAJUNS is actually an adaptation from mispronunciation of the word "Cadien" (kah-jan) which was short for Acadien or someone who hailed from Acadie. Yankees couldn't fathom dien saying the j sound so they spelled it cajun, but still pronounced it the old way. Generations later, and it's now kay-juhn.
