Alfred du Masset is a French name that can be a bit tricky to spell for non-native speakers. One way to break it down phonetically is as follows: /ælfrɛd/ – starting with the short 'a', followed by 'l', 'f', the long 'e', and 'd' /du/ – the French word for 'of' /masɛt/ – made up of the consonants 'm', 's', and 't', with a soft 'a' sound in between and at the end (like the word 'sir' in British English) Putting it all together, the correct spelling is: Alfred du Masset.
