Commentary
Gilbert du Motier, marquis de La Fayette, dit « La Fayette », né le 6 septembre 1757 au château de Chavaniac, paroisse de Saint-Georges-d'Aurac (province d'Auvergne, actuellement Chavaniac-Lafayette dans la Haute-Loire) et mort le 20 mai 1834 à Paris (ancien 1er arrondissement), est un noble d'orientation libérale, officier et homme politique français. Nommé général par George Washington, Lafayette a joué un rôle décisif aux côtés des Américains dans leur guerre d'indépendance contre le pouvoir colonial britannique et en particulier lors de la victoire de Yorktown le 19 octobre 1781. Lafayette a aussi œuvré à l'émergence en France d'un pouvoir royal moderne, avant de devenir une personnalité de la Révolution française jusqu'à son émigration, son arrestation et sa mise en prison pour cinq ans en 1792. Lafayette fut aussi un acteur politique majeur des débuts de la monarchie de Juillet. Surnommé le « héros des deux mondes », il est l'un des huit citoyens d'honneur des États-Unis d'Amérique.
Après la révolution de 1789, La Fayette décide de signer tous ses courriers d'un « Lafayette » en un seul mot, en réaction contre le système nobiliaire. C'est aussi la graphie utilisée par ses contemporains jusqu'à sa mort.
