Masculine

Our story of Deaundre
Languages hate a gap between two vowels and every one of them has a way of dealing with it. French inserts a consonant — a t appears in questions for no other reason. Sanskrit fuses the vowels into a third. Arabic uses a glottal stop and writes it. English mostly avoids the problem by not building words that way, which leaves an American naming system that does build them that way with no tool for the job and no rule to follow. What each family writes at the join is a small piece of private orthography, and the record carries all of them.
Meaningnot established
Not established
Andre is the French form of a Greek name meaning manly, from the word for a man. The front element is one of the productive American ones and means nothing. The vowel between them is a repair: it exists to keep the two halves from colliding, and every family writing the name has to decide what letter to use for it, which is why the record carries Deandre, Deaundre, Diandre and Dayandre.
