How do you pronounce the Hebrew female name Chava?

And also do you like it?





Its the Hebrew form of Eve, for extra info.

How do you pronounce the Hebrew female name Chava?
In an English-speaking environment it would be a pain, because she would have to correct people repeatedly.


The "ch" is pronounced like in "Bach" or the "Spanish J" in "Javier".


Originally, the name was pronounced with the second syllable stressed, but in modern Hebrew it can also be the first syllable.
Reply:It can be prnounced Ha-Va (http://www.chavacannon.com/) but I have also heard it pronounced where the first syllable sounds like you are clearing your throat (with an 'a" at the end and the second sylaable sounds like Va.

Reply:Microsoft Sam says it's pronounced Shoo-vah.


To check for yourself, go to Start %26gt; Control Panel %26gt; Speech.





%26amp; I don't like the name Chava very much.


But your opinion counts the most if it's your baby.


Good luck !
