YES. Acadia was the Canadian Maritimes & the coast of Maine. This is where we got our Acadian name. Between 1755 & 1785 we were sent where ever our "english Lords" sent us. Many were sent to the english colonies. The ones sent to Virginia ended up in england. After 1763 they went to France. Some went to Quebec either directly or from exile in New England. Some went to St-Pierre & M Some from France were sent to French Guyana. Louisiana - after Some came from Halifax (led by Broussards). In 1785 the spanish provided 7 ships to take "us" from France to Spanish Louisiana. My favorite one was a seaman who jumped ship in Tahiti & started the Polynesian branch of our families. So most Louisiana Acadian got the extra label Cajun. All peoples assimilated into our culture are called Cajuns. There are Spanish Cajun from Canary islands & New Iberia.There are also Tejas cajuns because the Sabine River wasn't a real boundry.
