Best Answer

It was her family last name or surname. the Of business implied she was a Noblewoman, as a Female Knight surely would be. there was no direct term for distaff armored types- but up to a point Dame ( Lady) would suffice. The French version of her name is d'Arc (which is translated into English as "of Arc") but some historians believe it was actually Darc.

yes Joan of Arc was considered a hero because she rallied up the french people to fight for the throne when she was just a teenage peasant. Either that, or she just loved doing crow calls, like Graham Kennedy. Although, unlike Graham, she didn't get banned from live TV. Instead of 'arrrrrrrc', like the sound a crow makes, Graham's attempt sounded more like 'arrrrrse', apparently!

Her father's name was Jacques d'Arc and, as today, Joan inherited her last name from her father. d'Arc means 'of Arc.'
