How should we pronounce Ivar?

[Rachel from Seattle]

I watch your wonderful posts every Monday, or this week Tuesday, and you never introduce yourself. I wonder how to say your name, Ivar. And I want to thank you for all you do for the pilgrim community. I hope to meet you someday.

And more importantly, is he related to Ivar's Chowder?

I have heard Ivar introduced on a few different videos now, and one kind of “ted Talk” type thing — it begins with a sound like Yves and then ahr. Evahr Rek- vé. With apologies to linguists for my orthographie.

Maybe like the Mel Brooks film "Young Frankenstein": EYE-gor.
Lol, I don't know, I just love that movie.

No.

I understand that Ivar says: EE var

I must confess that I still have to remind myself that Ivar’s name is pronounced ‘Evahr’. It’s easier when I remember that in Europe it’s ’weefee’ and not wifi as that word is pronounced in my part of the world.

Yes of course. I was mostly joking about the movie

I am looking at a theater poster from the movie right now. I thought the same thing. I'd be remiss in my fandom of both the movie and the Camino if I didn't say,

"Walk this way."

I guess it would be a bit like "eevar"...

That Ivar, a Seattle icon, is pronounced Eye-ver

This page may, or may not, help. The link is to the Norwegian pronunciation but you can also hear Ivar as it is commonly pronounced in other countries.

Wasn’t the hump on the other side a minute ago?

Good question as I Canadian I pronounce it I-ver but using the proper pronunciation would be better
