I am adding a "literal" translation here, just as a warning point. I may be totally wrong, and I don't have time right now to delve into this matter.
But, if you have the rest of the context and can and will study the matter, just consider my hypothetical hypothesis that I throw here, just in case...
Saludos cordiales.

Lacan, Seminar 21, Les non-dupes errent, Translated into English by Cormac (see page 3). It starts "Les non-dupes errent: The unduped wander (or go astray)/are mistaken"......
I would be inclined to leave the French, although the Scribd link has two English versions.

: I agree, it's untranslatable really, and even in French it's a painfully laboured pun.

Si el inconsciente es lo que les dije y de cuyo soporte hoy les hable, o sea un saber, todo lo que quería decirles este año a propósito de los no incautos que yerran es que quien no está enamorado de su inconsciente yerra (...) porque no es necesario saberse enamorado de su inconsciente para no errar, hay que dejarse hacer ser su incauto.[4]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_the_Father
The name of the father (French nom du père) is a concept that Jacques Lacan developed from his seminar The Psychoses (1955–1956) to cover the role of the father in the Symbolic Order.
Lacan plays with the similar sounds in French of le nom du père (the name of the father), le non du père (the no of the father), and les non-dupes errent (the non-dupes err) to emphasize with the first two phrases the legislative and prohibitive functions of the father and to emphasize with the last phrase that "those who do not let themselves be caught in the symbolic deception/fiction and continue to believe their eyes are the ones who err most".[1]

That has a funny sound, huh? It is my kind of little air. Or to put
things better, a little erre – e, double r, e. You know perhaps what is
meant by an erre? It is something like the initial impetus. The
impetus of something when what is propelling it stops and it still
continues to move on. It nevertheless remains that this sounds strictly
the same as les noms du père (the names of the father). Namely, what
I promised to never speak about again. There you are. This because
of certain people that I no longer need to describe, who, in the name of
Freud, precisely, made me suspend what I had planned to state about
the names of the father. Yeah. Obviously, it is in order not to give
them in any way a consolation for the fact that I could have brought
them some of these names that they are ignorant of because they
repress them. It could have been of use to them. Which is what I
would have precisely nothing to do with. In any case, I know that
(10) they will not find them all by themselves, that they will not find
them, given the way they have started, under Freud‟s impetus.
Namely, under the way psychoanalytic societies are set up. There you
are.

Thanks Robert. I really don't know as I am ignorant in this field. I merely researched the term.
