Barbara deRubertis: Hello. My name is Barbara deRubertis. It's a French name, originally, and the D-E is in lowercase letters, and then Rubertis begins with a capital R. So it means, in French, "of Rubertis." But it has lots of different pronunciations in the United States, I can tell you. I always have to listen carefully, because people do mispronounce our name frequently. In French, it would be de-HRU-behr-TEE, but in English it's dee-roo-BUR-tihs. Barbara deRubertis.
