de, di, or da means 'of'. And I believe it's de Gama. For example, Leonardo da Vinci. He was from the town/village/etc of Vinci. Translates to Leonardo of Vinci.

Ummmm--Vasco da Gama was a Portuguese explorer who sailed around the Cape of Good Hope (which was as far as Bartholmieu Dias got) and reached India.

\du\ doesnt exist in Italian, unless its a typo and you wanted to write \da\ di\ meaning \from \of\.
\Du\ is french it means \of the\
And there is only one Vasco in Italy, he s the rocker Vasco Rossi,also nicknamed Vasco Blasco, very popular one.

you guys are killing me... Although there is no formal word DU.. There is a variation of this word Du used in areas like Sardegna Italy.. Such that: andamu a spalmadu "lets go to spalmatore beach" or cortedu "knife" and my favorite DUCAZZO which is a slang for "you aint got ****" or a faccia du cazz, literally you are a dick face.
