As a Greek speaker, I’d say that ah-ree-ADD-nee, first A like the A in Latin, is the closest to the Greek pronunciation!

I have pronounced it with both As like the a in Latin, so not like any of your options. I’m not an expert though on this.

both As like the a in car. I assume by ADD you mean like the word add, so like the a in latin?

air-ee-ADD-nee

Most similar to the A in Latin but that sound with the R would come out like “air” in my accent.

I have met one, she pronounced it ending in the “ee” sound. I would say the initial A sound was somewhere between the car and the Latin examples you use.

This is how I would pronounce it as well.

I know it’s not technically correct but I’ve always pronounced it like ah-ree-AHD-nee: both As like the a in ‘car’!
