How do you pronounce the name Mealea?

Question

Recently came across this name. Apparently it's a Cambodian girl name meaning, "lei, flower garland, braid of flowers." Do you know how to pronounce this name? I honestly have no idea how!

Answer 1

When I read your question I read it as Muh-LAY-uh.  That, or muh-LEE-uh.  Either way sounds pretty to me.

Answer 2

me-lee-ah= mealea or melea

I like this one too:

ma- lee- ah

I would spell it malia, though.

Answer 3

It is pronounced Mah-Lee-Ah

Other spellings are: Malia, Maleah

Answer 4

ma-lee-ya. It is a very pretty name. I know a little girl named that and she is beautiful.

Answer 5

maybe may-lee? that would be cute!

Answer 6

Ma-lee-Ah

Its pretty.

Answer 7

At first glance it looks like it would be May-lay...

But i think it's probably May-lee or Ma-lee-uh

Answer 8

I would say may-LEE-ah.

Answer 9

Ma - lee - uh and it is beautiful.  I have known a few Malea's and they were very sweet girls.

Answer 10

It looks like Mee-leigh or May-leigh to me.  

Answer 11

Mel (as in melanie) -eeee- uh

Answer 12
