This name is 100% pure Flemish.
 
de is the Flemish article
it has nothing to do with the French nobility : de (meaning descending from)
although it is highly probably French people understood it this way.
 
I have no knowledge about claims of Irish ancestry.

Can you explain?
I remember something about De Gaulle also talking
about Irish ancestry as well, know anything about
that?
Sorry about the deviation from topic
