Does the popularity of Le/La- and De/Da- prefixes in black American first names have anything to do with French?

Post Body
There have been a few answers here about the uniqueness common in black American names, but this particular connection seems too coincidental to me. Haiti, New Orleans, and other formerly French areas factor heavily into African-American history, is there any documented sociological or historical connection between that and common sounds in black names today?
