How would you pronounce Rohan?

[Fishpond]

Like Rowan or would you manifest the H?

And if you do pronounce the H, is it Ro-HAWN or Roe-HAN? I would assume when pronouncing the H you put the accent on the second syllable?

Eep. I like the look of the name and wonder what most people would initially view it to be pronounced as.

Row-un. So, yes. Rowan.

Unless you're Scandinavian....

Roe-HAN. Why put a w in if there is none? (an as in can)

I thought ROE-HAN as well.

Same as Rowan.

Rowan, unless you are Indian, in which case the Indian name (totally unrelated in meaning but the same letters in English) is pronounced with the h.

I thought Roe Han until I said it out loud and then decided on Rowan.

Tolkein says Roe-Han. As a name I would probably assume Rowan until corrected.

Yes, but Middle Earth is a made-up country....

same as rowan

I wouldn't pronounce the h but it is different to Rowan

Rowan = Row unn, with the emphasis on the o
Rohan = Row ann, with the emphasis on the ann

All the Rohan's it have taught have pronounced it Rowan except one Asian boy who pronounced it Ro-Han.

DS's friend is Ro-han.

The two Rohans I know (one a child, one an Australian thirty-something) both say 'Rowan'.

I have a Rohan in my class this year and he pronounces it Roe-Han. His mother is Scandanavian.

not Rowan,as no w
I'd say roe Han
nice name

I used to work with one, he was pronounced RoeHan

I'd say Ro Han
Rowan is a different word.

My friend whos son has that name pronounces it Ro-Han.

Isn't it from Lord of the Rings?

There's one on the Archers (little friend of Henry) and they pronounce it ROAN (it's a girl)

Obviously being a radio program I don't know how it is spelled.

[goes off to google arhers cast]

got to be Roe- Han.
Rowan is Row(rhymes with now) an

I read it as Roe-Han. However I am a massive lord of the rings fan and think this is an epic name. Sounds rather classic and at the same time masculine.

I've cone across both, so I'd ask.

I would pronounce it Roe an, so closer to Rowan than Ro Hann. What about Ruan (Roo an) - removes the confusion as to whether the h is silent or not. Unless you were preferring Ro Han, in which case, you could get away with it on account of the Tolkein pronunciation.

I know a Rohan and he says Roe-han.
