How to pronounce Andromeda

Girl Names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!!

I have always been a huge [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] fan, and as we all know, Nymphadora Tonks’ mother is called [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f].

I have always pronounced it [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-drom-me-dah but I’ve heard people pronounce it
[name_f]Anne[/name_f]-drome-eh-da. (I don’t know if you can tell the difference between what I have written haha, many apologies!!)

Which is the right way to pronounce the name?

Thanks, [name_f]Marie[/name_f].

I’ve always pronounced it as [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-DROM-eh-dah. There are probably pronunciation guides online since it’s the name of a galaxy :).

3

I’d also say [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-drom-ee-dah or [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-drom-eh-dah. The ee/eh sound really depends on the speed at which I’m saying it.

4

I’ve always pronounced it with “drom” rather than “drome” and personally that’s the only way I’ve heard other people say it.

[name_f]Anne[/name_f]-drom-meh-da

This is what I’ve always heard, what I’m familiar with, and if it’s any comfort at all, the version used for pop culture things like the show [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] from the early 2000s.

I originally pronounced it An-drom-ee-dah but according to another thread, it’s An-drom-eh-dah.

7

I am Greek, the original pronunciation is [name_f]Ann[/name_f]-drom-EH-dah

I’m not sure of the correct way, but I’ve always heard it as [name_f]Ann[/name_f]-DROM-mih-duh. Short O like orange or [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], and short I sound like in or it. More like the second pronunciation I think. I really love [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]!
