www.thewatcherfiles.com/bloodlines/duyn.htm:
The surname Van Duyne is Dutch. The Van Duyn last name has ended up with many spellings. For instance, in Bergen Co., NJ. the name is spelled Van Dyne, Van Duyn, VanDuyne, VAN DINE (the preferred pronunciation), VanDine, & Van Dien.
An informer states that Van Duyn is one of the top 13 Illuminati families. If that is so, then it certainly is the least known family of the thirteen. This article will show clues and evidence that have kept me from rejecting the possibility that the family is indeed one of the top thirteen. On the other hand, there are also some very puzzling things about this family that almost disqualify it from being a top family. One puzzling thing is how rare this surname is. Considering that the name belonged to one of the earliest settlers in the New World one would expect quite a clan to have developed. But this is not so. Another puzzling thing, is that the conspiracy has a great deal of activity going on in Brussels, Belgium. Belgium is half Dutch, half french. Many of the people in Brussels have Dutch names, and it would be expected that if the Van Duyn family were a top family they would have someone in Brussels, but I wasn’t able to locate any there. See the reproduction of the Brussels phone book to show that some places have been named after the Van Duyns but none live there, although two Van Duynens are listed.
The Van Duyn name is known in Western United States because of Van Duyn chocolate candies.
(The website above has all kinds of information on this name.)

The name VanDuyne is Dutch Belgian, and is a name which means that the person was from one of the several places in Belgium or the Netherlands which were called Duin.
The most likely pronunciation is:
Vaan - Dwiin

It's actually Dutch, not French. It would be pronounced Van Dun...the uy makes the "uh" sound, just as it would in Huyskins or Huijskins (uy is also uij...the y = ij in Low German).
Now whether she pronounces it differently because of an American accent, I don't know. But in Dutch that's how you'd pronounce it.
