How to pronounce Gaynor?

Pronunciation of Gaynor in the US

The American pronunciation of Gaynor, specifically in New Bedford, MA, USA, is

G AY N aw r
  • g sounds like the 'g' in go
  • ay sounds like the 'ie' in tie
  • n sounds like the 'n' in no
  • aw sounds like the 'aw' in law
  • r sounds like the 'r' in rat

"This name is the Irish form of the Gaelic Fionnbharr. It can also be pronounced with the stress on the second syllable such as: g ay - N AW R ('guy'-'gnaw' [with an 'r' on the end - depending on the accent]), similar to how Fionnbharr is pronounced ('fin'-'BAR' or 'FEE-on' - 'bar'). It depends on your region of the Isles and on whether or not Gaelic or Irish is one of your primary languages. Guinevere and Gwen come from the same origin and possible originate with this name. The name is also pronounced how it is spelled: 'gay' - 'nor' with the accent on either or both syllables. This is incorrect given the language origin of the name. More females have it as a first name than males; it is more common as a surname over all. This is most likely due to the spelling and the modern though incorrect associations with the name. This may also be due to the fact that Guenevere/Guinevere/Gwen are all female names and that very few non-Celts even use such names as Fionnbharr anymore. There is a Gaynor coat of arms."
