Is there a word for names that have a capital letter somewhere besides the beginning of the name?

oh, let's hope so!
: )

reCapitulations? ;)

Bicapitular -- with emphasis on the third syllable.

In the City of Rochester, New Hampshire, James F. McManus Jr is a member of the city council, David DuBois is the Chief of Police and Janet LeCroix is the postmistress.

And then there are the names with the capital not at the beginning of the name. The one that springs immediately to mind is Jerry terHorst, who was for a quick minute Ford's press secretary, only to resign in protest when Ford cravenly pardoned Nixon. At the time there was a quip about Jerry: You can lead terHorst to Watergate, but you can't stop him from thinking. I greatly admired terHorst for his resignation.

I am assuming that most if not all of these names that you raised the question about were in fact at one time two words, as in Mac Manus or Le Croix, and that the owners of the names decided to continue to capitalize them as though they were two words.

TEd

Mc in the Irish means "son of" also seen as Mac in Scots.
de(du) is French (if memory serves) for "of" so DuBois would be "of the wood(s)" and by extrapolation LeCroix might be a shortning of de le croix - of the cross.
Maybe? scurrying off wondering where I get the gall to post this!

Indeed, Wow. You've got enough gall to be divided into three parts.

I think the original questioner (an old friend of the lovely AnnaS) was more concerned with a word describing the fact of a name having an internal capital letter regardless of whether it had an initial capital letter and regardless of whether it was a patronymic.

Vandals, Alans and Suebians?

Resistance is futile.

Faldage sez: "Resistance is futile."

No, resistance is the potential difference, expressed in volts, divided by the current, expressed in amps, which result is expressed in ohms ... or R = V/I.

or Home Sweet Gnome

> potential difference... in ohms

This was known as Gnomes’ Law, but well-known linguistic processes have degraded the obvious sense of the original words. It measures small people's resistance to large palaces.

Gnomes’ Law states that palatial difference, expressed in Vaults, divided by the currency, expressed in Imps, gives the result which is expressed in gnomes (R, after the famous Swiss scientist Rich Gnomenn who conducted the early research).

Hence R = V/I. Gnow you gno :)


Resistance is utile!
