Surname De Jongh

[edit]

She is Andrée De Jongh, daughter of Frédéric De Jongh. (See Wikipedia articles over Andrée and over Frédéric in French and in Dutch.) Maybe because she was later made Countess, her name began to be sometimes wrongly spelled de Jongh. She is here spelled once De Jongh (under #Origin_of_the_Comet_Line). I do not dare correct the article because of the consequences of changing the title and because I would prefer to meet a consensus in the talk page first.

You may be right, I don't know -- but googling her name there seems to be more references in English to de Jongh than De Jongh. That incudes an article about her in the New York Times which is an important source for most info in the U.S. What is your evidence that it should be De Jongh, recognizing that we are talking about the English language Wikipedia?
