How to pronounce this name

[Pennymixture]

Xavier

I always thought it was pronounced "Zay-vee-ar"

But I've heard people saying "ex-zay-vee-ar"

Which is correct or can you say either?

For me it's Za-Vee-ay, either that or Ha-Vee-ay.

When I was small and only saw it written down I thought phonetically it would be Ex-Av-Ee-ay, but I've since learned that's not generally how it's said.

Don't say the "X". It's Zay- v-ar.

My friend had an extractor fan in her kitchen in the 80s with the brand name Xpelair on it •.
I always read it as “Zeppelair”. Only years later did I twig that it was “Expel- air”!

Zav ee uh.

(Brother of my French exchange partner)

Traditionally Zav-ee-ay/uh but more recently it’s being pronounced Ex-aiv-ee-er
I think it’s one of those names where the common pronunciation is going to change over time …

The Xavier I know is Zay-very-er, though it's constantly being mispronounced with the X in front.
