Talk:Jenna von Oÿ

German Name??
Where in the German is there a y with diaeresis (umlaut). If she was told that name is German, she is mistaken. Please verify that. --Ben414 12:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

 * "von" is German. It means from and is usually a sign of beeing aristocratic. "Oy" (without the points) is a region in Germany 92.192.164.40 (talk) 23:23, 4 April 2010 (UTC)


 * "von Oy" is an ancient German aristocratic family. But there is no letter "ÿ" existing in the German language but the "y" only. For whichever reason the American branch of the von Oy's added the two dots. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.88.121.239 (talk) 17:13, 6 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Americans using ÿ? Sounds quite impossible. They hardly even use é, which is much more frequent. Usually Beyoncé is written without an é, for example. 82.141.65.218 (talk) 02:26, 26 November 2011 (UTC)


 * The House of von Oy is an ancient German family of nobility from the Allgäu region. Using the trema https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaeresis_%28diacritic%29 on the letter "y" is an arbitrary manipulation of the spelling of the name for reasons unknown. The original House of von Oy has neverwritten their family name with a trema on the "y". Maybe this branch of the family immigrating to America wanted to appear more exotic within an Anglosaxon environment. By the way, the trema-y has been in use and been part of the German alphabet before 1945 even though it is not existent in any current word anymore with the exception of very few family names. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:45:4904:DF32:51BE:3BA3:7C9F:9874 (talk) 11:32, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
