Thank you! I thought I had read the possibility of the name being related to the battle somewhere but couldn't find it. I'm glad to know I remembered that correctly. :)

I think that though the name is masculine in French, its -y ending would have made it vulnerable to switching to feminine in a country like South Africa.
