ArchivesHow do you pronounce Remiel?
I love the meaning, but I'm not sure how to pronounce it. It's in the database: Remiel.

I know a Ramiel (also spelt Rameil) and it's pronounced RUM-eel, so I am assuming that Remiel may be REM-eel.
Granted, in my language the stress is placed on the second-to-last syllable, whereas it seems to sometimes be on the last syllable in Hebrew (from what I have seen; I don't speak Hebrew), so my emphasis may not apply across the board.

I say REEM-ee-el and I'm sure I've heard it somewhere said that way. But since I can't remember where, take with a pinch of salt!

It's nice that you love it
But I can tell you now, you're pronouncing it wrong. Gay-bree-el, reem-EYE-ell are truer to its' Hebrew roots

How would reem-EYE-ell be truer to its Hebrew roots? You shouldn't go with Hebrew pronounciation in English - for instance Michael in Hebrew is mee-khah-ell - in the Bible, with stress on the last syllable, and with stress on the first for people today. This is nowhere close to the English pronounciation (MIE-kull). Gabriel is gahv-ree-ELL (closer to Gabrielle than to Gabriel) and Remiel would be reh-mee-ELL (at least I'm pretty sure it would be - I've never met one).

That's more or less what I say
I may not have written it correctly, but that is fairly close.
Thanks.
