How do you pronounce the name Bronwyn in french?

Question

Could you break it down into syllabols and how you would pronounce the syllabols please. Thanks :)

Answer 1

'bronwyn' is an american misunderstanding of a welsh name. because the name is artificial to start with there is no 'correct' pronunciation - but many french speakers would attempt to emulate the 'american' pronunciation of the name. this would probably result in some such sound as 'brohn - ween'.

the original welsh name 'bronwen' means 'white-breasted girl'. seeing it spelled 'bronwyn' always makes welsh people either flinch or laugh, because if the name 'bronwyn' existed it would be the masculine form of 'bronwen'.

'white-breasted boy' just doesn't sound right. or perhaps that is only to me.

....

and of course it isn't only the americans who spell bronwen this unsettling way.one of the most beautiful, cleverest, and most graceful girls i ever met was a bronwyn from johannesburg.

her name still made me giggle.

Answer 2

Name Bronwyn

Answer 3

I'd say you would pronounce it in two syllables in French

Bron= braun

Wyn= veen*

*note that in French, "w"s are pronounced "v", possibly because the letter "w" is named "double v (vay)" in French.
Again, as above, it's not a French name originally, but that's about how you would pronounce in French.

Answer 4

Bronwyn is not a French name. In French, it would be pronounced "BRAWN wen" or BRAWN win.), with the final "n" more nasal, as the 'n: usually is in French.

Answer 5

Oh thats a hard one as this name is not french originally...
Ok lets see if we can help you.
I pronounce it Bro- Ne- Win
- BrrO (as in hey Bro, but I insiste on the "R" as if I wanted to clear my throat. The "O" is not to be pronounced "Oe" as in John Doe, but simple and strictly "O" like in Orange).
- Ne = as simple as you can. Almost like "Nah!"
-Win = as in the verb "to win"
.I hope it helps...Gee I wish we could record stuff on this Yahoo language thing..lol
