D'artagnan is a proper noun—the name of the fictional Gascon musketeer. It’s pronounced with the French-influenced rhythm of a borrowed surname, featuring a soft initial consonant, a melodic vowel sequence, and an ellipsis-like ending. In English contexts you’ll typically hear a softened French /t/ and the final nasal, blending into a fluent, almost syllabic breath. The name conveys prestige and historical fiction flavor more than everyday usage.
