The word Cajun comes from the French pronunciation of what word?
The word "Cajun" is derived from "Acadian" ("Acadien" in French) which means someone from Acadia.The French pronunciation had nothing to do with development of the word.After the French and Indian War, the British took over French Canada. French citizens of the province of Acadia were ejected from that land and taken by the British to various ports all along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. Most eventually ended up in Louisiana, which was still held by France, but they did not mix well with the existing French community. When the US bought Louisiana, the descendants of the former Acadians had been living in the back country around New Orleans for several generations. The Americans contracted the name from Acadian to Cajun.
