Editing LaSalle Parish, Louisiana (section)

==Name==
The parish is named for [[René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle]].

There is some confusion as to whether the parish is spelled "LaSalle" (no space) or "La Salle." An example of the latter view can be seen in the photo at right of the sign over the entrance to a "La Salle Parish Courthouse." A photo of this sign is also featured on the main webpage of the LaSalle Parish Clerk of Court, but the parish is consistently spelled "LaSalle" (no space) in the website text. The prevailing spelling of the parish is "LaSalle" (no space), consistent with the U.S. Census since 2011,<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/technical-documentation/county-changes/2010.html | title = Changes to Counties or County Equivalent Entities: 2010s | website = census.gov | publisher = U.S. Census Bureau | access-date = January 8, 2022}}</ref> and as demonstrated for example by a [[Google Trends]] comparison of the phrase's different spellings.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=%22lasalle%20parish%22,%22la%20salle%20parish%22 | title = Google Trends | website = trends.google.com | publisher = Google | access-date = December 31, 2021}}</ref>
