In fact it is keh-too-rah :)
I like both the sound and the meaning but wouldn't use it because I dislike the Biblical person (it is Hagar's second name).

It's pronounced a little differently in English-speaking countries, I think. The only Keturah I've known (a very cute girl at my sister's old ballet school, who went by the nn Ket) used the 'tyoo' pronunciation.:-)

Oh, ok! It's true that I use the "Jewish way" of prononcing it (like when I learn the Bible, and so on). :)

Lol, it doesn't surprise me that it's different for you. It's the Uriel (oo-ree-el vs yoo-ree-el) thing again!:-)
