Beyonce’s first name is among the new words included in the new edition of the French encyclopedic dictionary Le Petit Larousse.
According to Sky News, “Beyonce” will appear as an entry alongside about 40 celebrities such as Cate Blanchett, French actor Omar Sy, Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan, and French rugby captain Antoine Dupont.
Bey is listed as a proper noun in the dictionary, and her entry reads, “American singer of R&B and pop.”
The new entries “reflect concerns, developments or strong movements” in 2024, Carine Girac-Marinier, director of the dictionaries and encyclopaedias department, told French news magazine Le Point.
“That’s when you know you’ve succeeded,” commented a fan of the ‘Cowboy Carter’ star. Another person said, “Beyoncé’s influence knows no bounds!,” while a third user commented, “Star power.”
“Creole French queen,” another person wrote, referring to Beyonce’s Louisiana Creole ancestry (via Nola).
