This is the same principle as in the pronounciation of the name Lescaut (see the opera Manon Lescaut). The polonization was formualated such that a Pole could read the name using Polish pronounciation rules and the result would sound as similar as possible to the original French pronounciation. Another example of an 18th century polonization of a French name can be found in Szopen = Chopin."
