Does anyone know how the name "Hennagin" would be pronounced in Japanese? ?

Question

I am half japanese and I lived in japan for 10 years. I'm usually good at finding out the right pronounciation for foreign names but I can't decide whether my fiance's last name would be pronounced HE-NA-GEN or HE-NA-GIN.

Answer 1

what is the nationality of your fiance?

It is better to ask your fiance, and practice.

Answer 2

The pronunciation should be based on the rules of pronunciation of the name's origin.

For example, the name "Jose" is written J-o-s-e. However, it is pronounced ho-se.

So, in the case of Hennagin, if it is pronounced he-n-na-ge-n,

then use ヘンナゲン

Answer 3

Just by looking at it, I read it as, "Hen-ah-gin"

ヘナーギン

And if you're engaged to him, wouldn't you know how to say his name? I mean, unless it's arranged, you should know him. That means you would know how to say his entire name.
