Editing August Kekulé (section)

==Name==
Kekulé never used his first given name; he was known throughout his life as August Kekulé. He did however say it once in his work. After he was ennobled by the Kaiser in 1895, he adopted the name August Kekule von Stradonitz, without the French acute accent over the second "e". The French accent had apparently been added to the name by Kekulé's father during the Napoleonic occupation of Hesse by France, to ensure that [[French language|French-speakers]] pronounced the third syllable.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1jb9BAAAQBAJ&q=august+kekule+accent&pg=PA3|title=Organic Chemistry: The Name Game: Modern Coined Terms and Their Origins|last1=Nickon|first1=Alex|last2=Silversmith|first2=Ernest F.|date=22 October 2013|publisher=Elsevier|isbn=978-1-4831-4523-5|language=en}}</ref>
