ArchivesRe: How would you pronounce the name Aveza?
in reply to a message by the detective
I would guess it is something like ah-VAY-zah. But, I have no idea.

I think this is the pronunciation I'd use because not only did you guess that, but I ended up finding that same pronunciation, finally, on another website.

If it's a Germanic name, the "e" probably wouldn't make the "ay" sound. I was thinking it was a Spanish name.

Does anyone know how a German would pronounce it?

Probably something along ah-VE-zah or ah-VE-sah. The "z" letter in such a position is unusual for German names and would probably lead to different pronounciations.

As a germanic name it has initial stress. I'm not sure about the pronounciation of the letter z, but for a high german name it will be /ts/. The letter e is either a clean /e/ sound (like in bed) or a shwa. So my best gues is AH-ve-tsa.
It is a diminutive form of Ava (Frau Ava is the first female poet in german language known by name, BTW).
