It is pronounced EN-yuh in Irish Gaelic. I don't like the sound much. A similar-sounding name that I like is Fáinne, pronounced FAWN-yuh.

I don't like it pronounced eth-nee, this just sounds silly IMO.
The spelling Eithne (pronounced en-ya) is on my list, and I really like it!

from the comments section under the name, it looks as though it could be pronounced eth-nee or en-ya, depending on wear you live.

I thought maybe it was pronounced et-nee which I actually kind of like.

it's an interesting name. I prefer Ethne to Enya. it remind me of the word ethnic.
