I am not too knowledgeable on the subject, but I reckon the title of this article is a bit too casual. Anyone else care to comment? - Bennyboyz3000 08:18, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I support the proposed merge. YechielMan 19:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It seems clear that she took her father's surname, "Darc" (which was sometime later misspelled as "d'Arc". It is also true, evidently, that Arc was not the name of a place. The problem with using that surname is that it will appear wrong to most eyes. If I were making the decision, I would go with "Joan, the Maid of Orleans".97.64.209.102 (talk) 21:03, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The issue isn't with the form "Joan of Arc". That is BY FAR the most common version of her name in the anglosphere, and nobody would get anywhere if they tried to persuade billions of people to call her something else. Sure, many educated people know that "Joan of Arc" is not what she called herself or what she was called in her lifetime, or what she is called in France today. The issue, as I understand it, is the supposed casuality of the article title "Name of Joan of Arc". I can't see what's casual about it. "Joan of Arc's name" is roughly equivalent, but I see no case to change it to that. To go to something like "Joan of Arc name controversy" would be dead wrong, since there is no controversy. There's a difference between knowing that some name has changed over the centuries, and there being a controversy about whether the original form should be used. -- Jack of Oz[pleasantries] 01:51, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Although it has been given elsewhere as "Ioanna Arcensis", "Arcensis" being in the nominative case and denoting "of Arc"...'
Surely "Arcensis" is the genitive case? Does anybody have any view on this? Wyngideon (talk) 00:07, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
