Carys
How do you pronounce Carys? I have heard it pronounced many different ways and wonder what the correct pronunciation is. I pronounce it Care-iss. Thanks! :)

I knew someone with the name Karis and hers was pronounced Car-iss. I suppose I would pronounce Carys Care-iss or Car-iss, it just depends on what the person would want, otherwise I think I would unconciously alternate between the two.

It is correctly pronounced CAH-riss, with a slight emphasis on the first syllable. Short 'a' sound is CAH. Rhymes with Paris.

I pronounce it Care-iss as well. I know of someone by this name who pronounces her name this way.

I say CAAR-ihs, the A in CAAR sounding like the A in apple.
