Zan thay

SheldonandPenny · 21/12/2018 19:46

K-s-an-thee is the correct pronunciation. It's a Greek town. I've been there lots.

Zan-thee ❤️❤️❤️

What @ILoveDolly said. The 'th' sound is in the words think, thorough and throat.

I know a Xanthe. She's lovely.

SheldonandPenny · 21/12/2018 19:48

Actual pronunciation in an English accent is Ksan-thee. But it'll be Anglified to Zanthee. Definitely not ay but ee

Zan-thee. An amazing name for a Labrador. Wink

ZebraKid71 · 21/12/2018 21:07

In the uk I'd pronounce it zan-thay.

In Greek I'd pronounce it ka-san-thee

Lumpy76 · 21/12/2018 21:14

As I have a child with this name and I am of Greek decent I can confirm that the Greek pronunciation is “uux Ann thee” but the normal pronunciation that we use is “Zan thee”

Lumpy76 · 21/12/2018 21:16

Sorry - there should only be one u so
“ux ann thee”

PaintBySticker · 21/12/2018 21:17
