Notre Dame IPA: [nɔtʁ dam] is French for Our Lady, referring to the Virgin Mary. In the United States, Notre Dame is often pronounced /ˌnoʊtɚ ˈdeɪm/ This pronunciation is considered colloquial (e.g. University of Notre Dame).

In French-language place names, Notre-Dame is always hyphenated, as is a longer epithet of the Virgin (e.g. Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours). In church names with "Notre-Dame" followed by a place name the remainder of the name is not hyphenated if the place is where the church is located (e.g. Notre-Dame de Montréal) but it is hyphenated if the place is not where the church is located but rather an epithet of the Virgin (e.g. Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes, a church not in Lourdes but named for Our Lady of Lourdes).
