French names.

- Abstract
The article discusses French surnames and the standard format for indexing surnames with prefixes such as La, L' or Du; compound surnames such as Viollet-le-Dun, Bussy-Rabutin and Douste-Blazy; and special categories such as names of nobility, religious and medieval figures. The author notes that in most countries other than France, surnames with French elements are indexed according to locally accepted practices. Cross-references of complicated French surnames are another challenge, but are beyond the scope of this article.
