Her name in French is Jeanne d'Arc (her last name - does NOT mean "of Arc"). As it says above, she was from Domremy in France.

It doesn’t actually say WHAT her name means. But she is called “Joan of ark” in history books. I dare any 20 year old now to do what she did...!

JellyBaker, 'de' means 'of'. d' is used when de comes in front of a word that starts with a vowel. Her surname therefore does mean 'of Arc'.
