@@aaronodonoghue1791 Donald's name came from the children's book Little Lord Fauntleroy by Frances Hodgson Burnett. This book written in the mid-1880s was wildly popular in the early 20th century and spawned many movie and TV adaptations. Walt Disney was a fan of Frances Hodgson Burnett's writings and took some inspiration from these for his works. So, if you're familiar with how the Disney Princess movies like Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty should really end, the reason why they all have similar plot points and happy endings today is because Disney based them on Frances Hodgson Burnett's works like The Making of a Marchioness, The Little Princess, and Little Lord Fauntleroy. The Making of a Marchioness is basically the quintessential Disney Cinderella template. But yes, the name Fauntleroy itself came from those roots.

"Roi" in French is pronounced similarly to the English word "Raw". Keep in mind to pronounce that gutteral french R. Generally all French words with "oi" is pronounced as "aw" sounds. When pronouncing "e" for French, it is more of a "uh" sound, while the "é" with the accent (aigu) is the "eh" sound. So say it with me: LuhRaw. Leroy.

Roi would be pronounced the same as French Canadian hockey goaltender Patrick Roy which we pronounce as waa or wah.
@paranoidrodent3 жыл бұрын
Yes, the oi vowel pairing are normally sounded "wa" in French (a short clipped "wah" in English approximates it well) both in Europe and Canada, at least in standard French and most accents. The more archaic sounding of oi, which persisted in some regional accents was "wè" (closer to the E at the start of the word "effort" preceded by a W sound). One of my grandmothers had the maiden name Roy and pronounced it Rwè (with a fully rolled R) in her strong regional accent from northern Quebec. That phonetic rendering resembles late Middle French and is increasingly rare. If we're talking about a name produced in French several centuries old, a sounding of Leroy closer to Lerwè or Lerway might have been the starting point but once you apply English phonetics to Leroy, it would sound like the American given name.

Color association is an interesting thing, we know there are names that there are colors or even reference colors in some way. But at the same time, certain colors in different cultures have connotations and associations with them. For example, the color red in Western cultures, like English, associate the color red with aggression, power, and death, just take look at the Redcap (a kind of goblin) in English lore, but in Eastern cultures, like China and Japan, Red is seen as the color to drive away evil, it's why most ceremonial Chinese fireworks explode in a cascade of red and the like. And Power Rangers actually started as an American adaptation of Super Sentai, and it still works with converting Super Sentai footage into something with English-speaking actors, so a lot of Japanese cultural elements are still very much present, even if what we usually get is watered down a bit.

While France kind of attempted America, all they every really got was a bit of Canada, and a chunk of land that Napoleon sold to the U.S. to finance Napoleon's war efforts. Meanwhile, England, Spain, and Portugal ran rampant over both (or is it just one?) continents, they eventually wound up mostly colonizing Africa, and bits of Southeast Asia. So, to this day, French is the official language in a lot of African countries and, of course, Vietnam was dominated by the French until they had to bugger off right before the U.S. entered the Vietnam war. So it makes total sense that very French names like Leroi would wind up being very connected to Africans, especially those who eventually wound up being kidnapped and sold to Americans.
