I would like to propose a change to the title of this article and Cyrano de Bergerac (play). I believe that the most famous “Cyrano de Bergerac” is the play, not the writer, or, at least, that they are of equal fame. In either case, the writer is not more famous than the play.

The article says first "He was the son of Abel de Cyrano" and then "... help of his own brother Abel de Cyrano" -- so, was Abel his father or brother or both? 93.185.19.156 ( talk) 11:42, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
I must preface my remarks by saying I am not an expert in the French language, French history, or French geography, so what I say is very much open for questioning.
I'd like an explicit explanation of his name and origin. The article says he was born in Paris rather than Gascony as had been believed. But what is the basis for the incorrect belief? Is it simply an assumption from the name "de Bergerac"? Or is there more to it?
Firstly, based on the "wide" definition in the article about Gascony, Bergerac is in not in Gascony. Of course, Gascony is vaguely defined and the borders of that time were in flux. But Bergerac was within the 1477 borders of Guyenne (see map in that article). It is clearly within the Dordogne department in the province of Guyenne. See: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vidal-Lablache_n°9_-_Provinces_en_1789.jpg
Secondly, "de Bergerac" is described in the French article as his dit name. In an earlier discussion of his name, an editor wrote 'The French article is titled “Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac” and begins “Savinien de Cyrano, dit de Bergerac” (Savinien de Cyrano, called de Bergerac).' The dit name is sometimes described as a nickname, but that's not quite right because it had legal status. The article Dit Name focuses on French-Canadian genealogy. The Military and Paramilitary Organizations section of the article Pseudonym has a better explanation. Cyrano de Bergerac, as most know him, or an ancestor could have acquired that surname for reasons other than coming from the commune Bergerac. It might have been ironical, perhaps because he had some characteristic in common with people from the commune. Or it might be that his first contact with the army occurred with a unit from that commune. Nothing can be assumed. Humphrey Tribble ( talk) 06:32, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
There's not a shred of real evidence as to Cyrano's sexual tastes. Trying to enroll him as a homosexual is specious and deceptive. Since his so-called 'lover' (based on no evidence) was the object of so much unfriendly writing by Cyrano, we can't take any view on the subject. But someone with an agenda does take a view in the article. When did Wikipedia become the site for hunches and guesses? 47.232.145.208 ( talk) 07:10, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
