Hu Nan
Hu'nan
The misspelling Hu'nan attempts to make clear that 湖南 (Húnán) is made up of the two Mandarin syllables hu and nan instead of hun and an.[1] However, in theory, this clarification is not needed because the syllable-dividing mark (隔音符號/隔音符号 (géyīn fúhào)) should only be added before a non-initial syllable beginning with a, o, or e. Hence, Hunan could only ever refer to a word made up of hu and nan since a word made up of hun and an would be spelled as Hun'an. In practice, syllable-dividing marks are often added or omitted at will.
Borrowed from Mandarin 湖南 (Húnán) Wade-Giles romanization: Hu²-nan², literally “south of the lake”[1], referring to Lake Dongting.
