[Facts] Help me pronounce this name
I'm British and I'm moving to France but I love the name Athènaïs but I'm struggling to pronounce it . Can anyone help with the pronunciation

It's A-TEN-A-EES.
Yes, keeping in mind that A is AH, not the English A sound.
No, it's the /a/ sound - like in the English word cat.
Not what I'm hearing. The A as in cat is written as E. I'm not a native French speaker, but I do speak French.
I couldn't find the name by itself, but here it is with Françoise:
