Guys help me out with something

What
Jean is a guy's name
Jeanne(joan) is a chick's name
And she was a chick
Unless you got new intel

It's actually Jehanne d'Arc, since it was before French further bastardized their language

>>1827835
Jeanne is a french name. the english "Version" of that name is Jean
>>1827836
Ohhhh.. okay, THAT makes sense then. because Jehanne is a variation of Johan, so Joan would come more reasonably from that

alright everyone can go home now

>>1827839
Basically, in Old French to modern French it was

Jehan -> Jean and Jeanne

but in Norman (which later influenced English) it became

Johan -> John and Joan

The signatures she made herself read "Jehanne".

Note how bad the pensmanship is compared to the rest of the letter. She was illiterate to start with and as far as we know she only really learned enough to sign the letters she dictated with shaky letters.

I'd say that made it all the more amusing and/or endearing considering how innocently earnest her dictated letters read.

>Prince of Burgundy, I pray of you - I beg and humbly supplicate - that you make no more war with the holy kingdom of France. Withdraw your people swiftly from certain places and fortresses of this holy kingdom, and on behalf of the gentle king of France I say he is ready to make peace with you, by his honour.

It's Jeanne, but her name was Jehanne or some other Alsatian/Germanic name.

>just non-phonetic alphabet user things

>>1828414
>Jehanne is Germanic

How retarded you have to be? It's literally Frenchified feminine version of Hebrew name Johan.
