@gittar1 lol, I like your comment, but jardell is a basic french name from normandy, so it could sound cajun french. But it doesn't mean anything nowadays because, by the time, the louisiana cajuns (acadians) have been mix with other catholic people like irish or spanish...so that's why you have nowadays cajun name which haven't french roots: for example, BALFA sound more spanish than french and ABSHIRE more irish than french too.

@peroxideh2o2 I would say the Native Americans where here before all of us so maybe we should speak native.

Dumbass...French has been spoken in that area long before English.
