How have y'all heard the name Ourso pronounced?

In BR, I hear people say Oar-so, but growing up I heard everyone on west bank of the river say Ooo-so.

LeBlanc - Luh blaw


That would be my mothers side of my family. Duplechin married a LeBlanc.

LeBlanc (Luh-Blaw)
Duplechin (Doop-luh-shain)

Both names, ends with that light N in the pronunciation

One was from Kaplan and one was from Church Point. But I was raised in Lake Charles and I find it very unfortunate that my mother didn't appreciate her Cajun heritage more than she did. Or pass it down anyway.

Whoever made this is terrible at phonetic spelling. Some of them it helps, some of them leave me even more confused than the actual name does, others I actually know how to pronounce but I can't make sense of what they're trying to do.

So how is Acre pronounced in French?


The French unit of measure for land was not the acre, but the arpent - 192 ft. Typically land grants were fronting on a navigable waterway and to a depth of either 40 or 80 arpents. Thus the existence of a number of "Forty Arpent Road"s and "Eighty Arpent Road"s in LA. Townships consisting of a specific square acreage (many irregular shaped in LA though) came about after statehood.

Cinquante arpent c'est quarante deux acre.

The pronunciation of acre is "ahk"

I don't write well in french, but this is a general rule.
50 arpent = 42 acres.

About the name list, I see several just wrong.
