How do you pronounce the name Zenia / Zenya?

[namesstress2323]

I thought it was Zen - ya , but apparently its Zee-nia ?

I'd pronounce Zenya zen-ya and Zenia zee-nee-a

Isn't it normally spelt Xenia?

Xenia is K-senia.

Xenia is Greek and pronounced Zen-ee-a. No ks sound Thistle

Zenia is a plant name pronounced Zee-nee-a.

Zenya I've never heard of but would assume Zen-ya like Sonya.

Xenia is my DD's middle name, named after her Ukrainian great grandmother who pronounced it like that. Perhaps they pronounce it differently in Greece.

I agree with thistle
It depends on where you come from, but ks-enia is very much a legitimate pronunciation.

Great grandad used to say her name started with a kiss

Thistle that is very sweet.
With DH visited Slovak/Ukrainian/Hungarian/Polish borderlands recently. A fascinating place and we were treated with such very kind and also very dignified courtesy.
