Either is acceptable

I always spell it fleur de lys

More commonly Lis

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleur-de-lis

Both are correct but I think the first one is more commonly used.

Question Author

thank you Emeritus - I put Fleur de Lys, but then had my doubts!

As emeritus rightly states either is acceptable according to Chambers.

de LIS on here:

Seems both are acceptable,

My French dictionary only gives Lis for lily so I would think that Fleur de Lis is the correct spelling.
