Pronunciation of Leta

Is [name_f]Leta[/name_f] only pronounced [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-ta? Or can it be pronounced Leh-ta?

I’ve only seen/heard [name_f]Leta[/name_f] pronounced [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-ta, particularly when talked about in relation to its [name_m]Roman[/name_m] roots. Perhaps [name_f]Letta[/name_f] would give more of that Leh-ta sound you’re going for?

My first thought was "[name_u]LEE[/name_u]-tah… I have never seen this name before, so I am not sure if it has a traditional/standard way of being pronounced.

I always say [name_u]Lee[/name_u] tuh

I’ve never seen that name before and I pronounced it Leh-ta
