How do you pronounce Carys?

Question

This is a Welsh name and I've seen that it's pronounced Car-is... I've always thought it was Care-is and Catherine Zeta - Jones is Welsh and had a daughter with that name and pronounces it Care-is... so I'm a little confused. I wouldn't want to Butcher the pronunciation. ... Does anyone know the correct way to say it?

Answer

It only sounds like that cos she's got a Swansea accent. It's pronounced ca-ris. Take it from someone who has 3 friends called Carys n comes from the Swansea Valley! :-)

Answer

I'm from the UK and it's Cah-riss
(Like 'carry' without the 'y'), with a hard C sound! ☺️

Answer

This was on my list too but my hubby hated it. I love it and would pronounce Care-iss but do worry about correcting people my whole life!
