- Because Wonder Woman is treated as a proper noun in French, it is often treated as a feminine noun in grammatical gender. Even though it is an English name, one might say La Wonder Woman when referring to her in a sentence.
- In French comic book culture, the term 'Wonder' is not translated into the word 'Merveille' for her title. If a French speaker wanted to describe a 'wonder woman' in the literal sense of an amazing woman, they would use 'une femme merveilleuse'.
