"Connections to the French surname Rochambeau are a folk etymology"

suggesting that you know that saying "Rochambeau" is unconnected from the French name Rochambeau is a folk etymology. Saying we can't identify any connection between this word and a person with the same name is closer to the truth.
But the same wiki also lists my spelling as correct. So you're really not contributing anything?
