Best Answer

No, the surname De Van does not have to be from French-speaking Madagascar, but yes, it may be from there, France, Canada, Belgium, or any other French-speaking country. The surname literally translates as "of (the) horsebox (horse trailer, horse truck)" and will be pronounced "duh vahn" in French.
