Subject: [SEELANGS] French name?

Hello folks,  

I'm translating Platonov's "Anti-Sexus" and am wondering how best to transliterate the second name in the company name Беркман, Шотлуа и Сн. (Berkman, Shotlua i Sn).

My one distant semester of college French, which I'm assuming is the language of origin of the name "Shotlua," doesn't make me feel confident about my transliteration - would the best transliteration be "Chatlois?" I googled that and didn't find any person with a similar name to whom Platonov may have been referring... so any leads on possible referents would also be gladly received.

Thanks, 

Annie
