• A french implant company that is well known for making total hip implants. DePuy currently has very close ties with Johnson and Johnson, although I do not know the specific details of the business arrangement. I believe J+J owns most of DePuy.

DePuy pronunciation

The proper pronunciation of "DePuy" is "d-pwee," not "d-pue," as the article suggests. The name hails from Le Puy, in south central France, where Puy de Dome can be found. The original De Puys that came to North America - the New World - in the 1600s, included Moses De Puy and his seven sons. They sailed into what is now known as the Hudson River Valley and settled there. De Puy settlements then expanded across what is now New York state and upper Pennsylvania.

Senator Chauncey Mitchell Depew of New York (from 1899-1911) was a De Puy.

Due to poor communications, translations, and education, which were typical of the day, the name evolved from the correct "d-pwee" pronunciation to the incorrect "d-pue" and stayed that way until after WWI. The spelling soon followed the erroneous pronunciation and became "Depew." As the pronunciation was corrected in the 20th century, so was the spelling.

Proper spelling is "De Puy," which uses a space. Today, some De Puys use the historical French spelling "de Puy."

The DePuy Company may pronounce their name as "d-pue," but they are incorrect.

The Employees of DePuy-Synthes are Reliably informed that the family of Revra DePuy are of Belgian Extraction, not French, and as a result the family name is not pronounced in the French Form "d-pwee," but "d-pue" this is similar to my name "Walsh" pronounced locally (Ireland south east) as "Welsh" to differentiate us for the other Walsh clans planted in Ireland in the 12th century. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.177.129.211 (talk) 13:38, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
