What is 'Pointe Du Hoc' when translated from French to English?

"Peak of the mound" is one English equivalent of the French name Pointe du Hoc.

Specifically, the feminine noun pointe is "peak, point, tip." The Word du means "of the" from the combination of the preposition de ("of") and the masculine singular definite article le ("the"). The masculine noun Hoc remains of uncertain etymology although suggested translations include "mound."

The pronunciation will be "pwehnt dyoo ohk" in French.
