Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
"Jean" is a masculine French given name derived from the Old French Jehan. Derived from the Koine Greek Ioannes (Ιωαννης), which itself is derived from the Biblical Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning "YHWH/The Lord is Gracious". "De Dunois" is a French family name meaning "of Dunois", with Dunois being the county Jean was given. "d'Orléans" similarly means "of Orléans."
