How do you pronounce the Spanish name Elena?

[MirandaGoshawk]

Like Eleanor? (equal stress on all three syllables)

Or el-EN-a

Or el-AY-na

TIA

I don't know if it has an accent on the middle E. Anyone?

The Spanish Elena I know is el-AY-na.

The second AFAIK. But I think there is another language with the same spelling and El-en-a pronounciation.

el-AY-na

The Elena I know is El Ay Na

The Spanish say e LAY na; the Greeks say EL e na.

In Spanish, Elena is pronounced with a short e sound, so E-leh-na. And the stress is on the penultimate syllable unless otherwise indicated by an accent.

Well Elena Baltacha pronounced it e-lay-na so that's how I would naturally say it.

My spanish friend pronounces her name El-eh-na.

Which prn do you want, op?

The ones I know:
Spanish: El-AY-ah
Greek: El-ENN-ah
English: El-UN-ah

The only person I've known with this name pronounced it e-LAY-na, so that's how I would automatically pronounce it now.

Elle-AY-na for the one Elena that I know.

OK, sounds like it should be El-AY-na. It's not about what I want, burga, it's that I used to know someone who spells her name like that, am likely to be meeting up with her again soon, and can't remember how she pronounces it. getting old

Thanks very much to you all.
