From the Wikipedia Page on “Bayou”
“Bayou (/'bai-iu, 'bai-ou/)”
“The word entered American English via Louisiana French in Louisiana and is thought to originate from the Choctaw word "bayuk", which means "small stream"....
An alternative spelling, "buyou", has also been used, as in "Pine Buyou", used in a description by Congress in 1833 of Arkansas Territory.”

This, and everyone from CENLA says it that way. Why waste a bunch of time saying "by-you" when "by" will suffice?
