Her real name was Jehanne d'Arc. Joan of Arc is an English bastardization of her name that was never used while she was alive. She preferred to be called "Jehanne la Pucelle" or Joan the maid. At her trial Joan herself testified that: "In my town they called me Jeannette, and since I came into France I have been called Joan."

Proper Pronunciation: Joan was French so Jehanne in English sounds most like Jan drawn out. To get a better sense of how it should sound pronounce Jeannette like Jan-et and drop the et to pronounce Jehanne. Her last name d'Arc sounds just like Dark in English.

Family Name: Joan was the daughter of Jacques d'Arc and Isabelle Romée. Joan's mother's surname Romée is thought to be a honorary name related to a pilgrimage she had once made to the papal city of Rome. Joan herself testified at her trial that: "My father was called Jacques d'Arc and mother Isabelle."
