People

Agassiz is a surname of Arpitan origin. Like many Arpitan anthroponyms, the final -z only marks paroxytonic stress and should not be pronounced. Nevertheless, it is often pronounced in French through hypercorrection.

    • Elizabeth Cabot Agassiz (1822–1907), American educator and naturalist, wife of Louis
